 Hence for historical record, we can safely assume that the dynastic formation of Alupas took place around 5th century CE.Their royal emblem was the double fish and they claimed to belong to the "Pandyavamsha" and "Soma Kula" (lunar).Their coins carried the dynastic title "Sri Pandya Dhananjaya" which means "Arjuna among the Pandyas".The Alupas now remain as bunts of Tulunad.
