Sri Meenakshi Temple
Meenakshi Temple, Madurai Overview
Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple is located on the southern bank of the Vaigai River. It is primarily dedicated to Parvati, known as Meenakshi, and her spouse Shiva. What makes this temple different from others is that both the god and goddess are worshipped together.
The most striking feature of the temple is its exquisite facade, which has highly minute details with great art pieces incorporated in the walls and pillars. Meenakshi Amman temple complex is made in accordance to the Shilpa Shastra and has 14 gateway towers or 'gopurams', golden 'vimanas', holy sanctums and shrines dedicated to the revered Goddess Meenakshi and many others. It is a major tourist attraction, with thousands of devotees visiting the shrine on a daily basis.
