Maaravaramban Kulasekara Pandyan I
- Maaravaramban Kulasekara Pandyan I
Maaravaramban Kulasekara Pandyan I was a Pandyan king who ruled the ancient Pandyan kingdom in South India. He succeeded Jatavarman Sundara Pandyan in 1258 C.E and ruled until his death in 1308 C.E.
On the death of Maaravaramban Kulasekara Pandyan I in 1308, a conflict stemming from succession disputes arose amongst his sons - the legitimate Sundara Pandya and the illegitimate Vira Pandya (who was favoured by the king) fought each other for the throne. Eventually, Madurai fell into the hands of the invading armies of the Delhi Sultanate (which initially gave protection to the vanquished Sundara Pandyan).
The Arab historian Abdulla Wassaf of Shiraz claims that a Arab Muslim named Takiuddin Abdur Rahman, son of Muhammadut Tibi was appoonted by Kulasekara Pandyan as the prime minister and adviser. He was also bestowed with the coastal cities of Kayalpattinam, Fitan and Mali Fitan for his services to the crown.
