Vira Pandya

Vira Pandya was the favoured illegitimate elder son of the Pandya emperor Maravarman Kulasekhara I. He succeeded around 1308 but was overthrown by his half-brother Sundara in 1309, and the brothers' war split the Pandya kingdom.

In 1311 Malik Kafur's Delhi army reached his headquarters at Birdhul, destroyed a temple and raided Madurai. Vira gained the upper hand while Sundara held the south-east. From 1325 he warred on the new Ma'bar Sultanate, lost Madurai in 1335, and was defeated and killed around 1345.
