The Meenakshi Temple is the center of the city, where everything is built around it. The temple is dedicated to the Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, but there are many statues dedicated to other gods.
It is one of the most eye-catching wonders anyone could behold. The highest part of the temple rises over 170-feet high and it sits on over 40 acres of land. Words can’t describe the sculptures to Kama, Rati and others.
Visitors cannot have a Madurai holidays without seeing the temple. The streets surrounding the temple are rectangular and everything is built away from it.
The Meenakshi Temple is just a start though of holidays in Madurai. Other gorgeous temples defy classical architecture.
