The history of Madurai can be traced to the 3rd century BC. Evidence record the visit of the Greek historian Megasthenes to Madurai. The city was under the reign of Pandya rulers till 920 AD, when the Cholas inflicted a crushing defeat on them. The Cholas ruled for more than 300 years and were overthrown by the Pandyas in 1223 AD. In 1311, Madurai was attacked by Malik Kafur, General of Alauddin Khilji’s army. Madurai easily fell to the invading army and became a part of the Delhi Sultanate in 1323. In 1371, the Vijayanagar Empire of Hampi annexed Madurai. They appointed a Nayak who looked after the administration of the city. In 1530, the Nayaks of Madurai declared themselves independent rulers, marking the beginning of the Nayak Dynasty. Thirumalai Nayak was the most prominent ruler of this dynasty. Madurai finally came under the rule of the British in 1781.
