Madurai: What to see nearby?
What our travellers think of their stay
A town in the Tamil Nadu region in South India, mainly known for its famous temple.
My suggestion
Spending an entire day in the Temple of Madurai and forgetting all of its benchmarks.
At 130km from Trichy, Madurai is a sacred city home to a magnificent temple.
My suggestion
If you're in Madurai during April or May, you should go to the Alagar Festival, which celebrates the marriage between Shiva and Meenakshi. A superb festival.
Nestled in the heart of Tamil Nadu, Madurai and its famous Meenakhsi Amman Temple are exemplary examples of Tamil culture and leave a lasting impression on travelers!
My suggestion
Take the time to wander around the Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai. Marriages are often celebrated here, a scent of jasmine pervades its interior and its Lakshmi elephant are just a few of its attractions!
