Ay kingdom
The Ay dynasty (I / Aioi dynasty) ruled parts of southern India from the early Sangam age to the 12th century AD. The dynasty was not a centralised monarchy, but a federal set up where there were many small principalities (Nadu), which over time became fragmented into individually managed and inter-fighting groups. At their zenith, the dynasty ruled an area extending from Tiruvalla in the north to Nagercoil in the south including the naturally rich Western Ghats in the east.〔''A Survey of Kerala History'', A. Sreedhara Menon, D C Books Kerala (India), 2007, ISBN 81-264-1578-9, ISBN 978-81-264-1578-6 ()〕 One part of the Ayi Kingdom was headquartered in Mavelikkara while another was headquartered at Periyaoor, later called Keezhperoor , Aykudi, Alwarkurichi,Tenkasi (Ayiraperi village), .
Ays were a prominent political power in the region before the Cheras established themselves. Greek geographer Claudius Ptolemy (2nd century AD) described the Ay kingdom as extending from the River Baris (Pamba) to Kanyakumari. The former south Travancore (Nanjanad) was also included in the Ay kingdom. According to the epic ''Purananuru'', the capital was at Aykudi, Podiyil Malai (near Shenkottai) and later an administrative capital was established at Vizhinjam. The elephant was the royal emblem of the Ay rulers. After the 10th century, the state of Venad overpowered the Ays in southern Kerala and south-western Tamil Nadu.〔
