The Flag of Pandya (Tamil: பாண்டியர் கொடி) was used by Pandyan Dynasty consisted of the single fish or twin fish.[1][2] There is no reference or description about the flag. Therefore, any Pandya flags used in media are created for the purpose of illustration. There are flags with double fish or single fish as per archaeological findings and historians's illustration.[3][4]

Comparision[edit]
12th-century Tamil court poet Ottakoothar's verse mentions about Pandya flag while comparing to Chola flag.[5][6]
வெற்றிப் புலிக்கொடிக்கு மீனமோ அம்மானே? - Ottakoothar
The verse literally means that "Can the fish flag (Pandya's) be at par with the tiger flag (Chola's)"?.
Legend[edit]
According to legend, Avatar of the Hindu Goddess Meenaatchi, who has fish shaped eyes, was born as the daughter of a Pandya king. Pandya emblem was a fish and it represented the dynasty, including in coins, etc. The word Meenatchi (Meen+Aatchi ) is a mix of the Tamil words meen (Fish) and "Aatchi" (Rule), which means Fish Rule.[7]
