Meenakshi Temple

Meenakshi Temple
Sri Meenakshi - Sundareswarar Temple
The Meenakshi Temple complex is literally a city - one
of the largest of its kind in India and undoubtedly one of the oldest
too. The temple grew with the contribution of each dynasty and victorious
monarchs, into an enormous complex extending over an area of 65000 Sqm.
The temple first came in to being 2000 years ago...






Location
The temple is the geographic and ritual center of the ancient city of Madurai and one of the largest temple complexes in Tamil Nadu.
