Walk through Madurai's landmark sights

Start the exploration of Madurai with a visit to the Flower Market; a walk through the local markets; where the fresh flowers for religious offerings, fruits and vegetables for household consumption, as also the many humble economies of artisans to traders provides an interesting insight into the routine simplicity of India. Then visit the Meenakshi Temple, famed for its many carved and painted halls, this magnificent temple of goddess Meenakshi and Lord Sundaram, a form of Lord Shiva, has the tallest ‘gopuram’ or temple gateway in the world.
