Q. What was the state emblem of the Pandya dynasty?
Answer: Fish
Notes: The Pandya dynasty used the fish as its official emblem. Coins and inscriptions from the Pandya period, dating from around the 4th century BCE to the 14th century CE in Tamilakam, feature fish symbols. The Meenakshi Temple in Madurai is named after the Goddess Meenakshi whose name means “fish-eyed”. Madurai was the prominent capital of the Pandyas.
