MADURAI
Madurai, this mystic and ancient South Indian city, is also called the temple city. Alagar Koyil, Thirupparamkunram Murugan or Vandiyur Mariamman are only few of the melodic names of the over 100 holy places in and around the city. The 500 years old Sree Meenakshi Amman Temple is the pumping heart of the city, attracting 15’000 to 25’000 praying and singing visitors a day. The highly energetic atmosphere of the Meenakshi Temple fills the surrounding streets and neighborhoods, where these pictures were taken on a beautiful late afternoon in spring 2018.
