Timeline

1310–1312Madurai · Tamil NaduAfter Kulasekhara I died in 1310, Vira Pandya and Sundara Pandya fought a war of succession. In March 1311 Delhi sultan Alauddin Khalji sent Malik Kafur south, first defeating the Hoysalas and then entering Pandya territory; the two brothers abandoned the capital and fled, Kafur destroying Vira Pandya's temple on April 7 and sacking Madurai on April 12 before returning north.
1321–1330Madurai · Tamil NaduAfter the Khalji withdrawal the brothers resumed fighting, and Sundara Pandya briefly recovered South Arcot with Delhi's help (1314). In 1323 Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq sent Jauna Khan on a third southern campaign, and the Pandyas further lost control of Kerala and other regions. Vira Pandya maintained a remnant rule in the 1320s, but the empire could no longer recover the glory of Kulasekhara's era.
