Madurai is the cultural capital of Tamil civilization. The Meenakshi Amman temple anchors a 6-hectare complex with 14 gopurams and the celebrated Thousand Pillar Hall. Evening aarti (the Lalli Poojai) is Madurai’s signature ritual — Sundareshwarar is taken to Meenakshi’s bedchamber in a miniature palanquin each night.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Meenakshi called fish-eyed?
"Meen" means fish in Tamil. Meenakshi’s eyes are almond-shaped and elongated — the fish motif also signifies the Pandya dynasty emblem.
