Ma'bar
Ma'bar ('the crossing') was the name Arab and Persian writers gave to the Coromandel Coast of south-eastern India, especially the Pandya lands around Madurai. Marco Polo visited it in the late 13th century and described its pearl fishery. After Malik Kafur's raid of 1311 it became a province of the Delhi Sultanate, and from 1335 it was the seat of the independent Madurai Sultanate.
