About Meenakshi Temple, Madurai

Meenakshi Temple, located in the heart of Madurai, Tamil Nadu, is one of the most iconic and ancient temples in India. Dedicated to Goddess Meenakshi (a form of Parvati) and her consort Lord Sundareswarar (Shiva), the temple is a masterpiece of Dravidian architecture. Its towering gopurams (gateway towers), adorned with thousands of colorful sculptures, depict mythological stories and deities. The temple complex covers 14 acres and houses numerous shrines, mandapams (halls), and the sacred golden lotus pond. Believed to be over 2,500 years old, it remains a vibrant center of Tamil culture, spirituality, and art. The annual Meenakshi Tirukalyanam festival draws thousands of devotees and tourists, celebrating the divine marriage of the deities. The temple's grandeur, spiritual aura, and historical significance make it a must-visit landmark in South India.
