Places to Visit

Meenakshi Amman Temple, Gandhi Memorial Museum, Tirumalai Nayak Palace, Puthu Mandapa, Mariamman Teppakulam Tank, Madurai Art Museum, Koodal Alagar Temple, Kazimar Big Mosque and Maqbara, and more?.

Tourists, Indian and foreign, usually come here to see the Meenakshi Amman Temple, a labyrinthine structure ranking among the greatest temples of India. Otherwise, Madurai, perhaps appropriately given her age, captures many of India's glaring dichotomies with a centre dominated by a medieval temple and an economy increasingly driven by IT, all overlaid with the energy and excitement of a large Indian city and slotted into a much more manageable package than Chennai's sprawl.
