About this listen
As a younger man, your columnist once wandered through the vast courtyards of the Meenakshi Temple in Madurai, awed by its towering gopurams and the hum of quiet devotion. What struck him most, though, was how seamlessly faith and enterprise coexisted. The temple was as much a monument to piety as it was to accounting.
This week’s podcast episode revisits that dual legacy through the story of the Pandya dynasty, whose ports thrummed with trade from Rome to Southeast Asia. Their pearl fisheries, merchant guilds and maritime laws made them masters of the southern seas. Centuries before banks and stock exchanges, the Pandyas’ proved that prosperity could be built on trust, ledgers and a goddess’s blessing.
