About Madurai
Madurai is a temple city on the Vaigai River in Tamil Nadu, built around the towering gateways and painted halls of the Meenakshi Amman Temple.
Madurai is one of the oldest cities in southern India, once the capital of the Pandya kings, and its streets are laid out in squares around the Meenakshi Amman Temple. The temple's fourteen gateway towers are covered in thousands of painted figures of gods and animals, the tallest rising about 50 metres. Inside lie the Golden Lotus Tank and the Hall of a Thousand Pillars, which houses a museum of temple art.
