One
of South India's great temple towns, Madurai is synonymous with the
celebrated Meenakshi Temple. Situated on the banks of river Vaigai,
Madurai has a rich cultural heritage passed on from the great Tamil era
more than 2500 years old. Madurai was an important cultural and commercial
centre even as early as 550 AD. It was the capital city for the great
Pandya kings. The Pandyan King Kulasekarar built a great temple and
created a lotus shaped city around the temple. On the day the city was to
be named, as Lord shiva blessed the land and its people, divine nectar (Madhu)
was showered on the city from his matted locks. This city was henceforth
known as Madhurapuri. Madurai is famous for Jasmine Flowers.
