1 review of Temples of Madurai

Here one feels like he´s been transported to the Middle Ages

Madurai is a center of pilgrimage ... Sundareshwara Sri Meenakshi Temple is in a wall 6 meters in height, as a protected palace, and is one of the biggest temples in India. It was constructed between the 16th and 18th centuries, but has older parts. There are 12 towers, 4 of which are 46 meters high. In the year 1950 they decided to paint it in bright colors, and about every 10 years it is repainted ... This is a characteristic of most temples of South India. Circular for its dependencies, but they do not allow the entry of "infidels". Pilgrims flock here and are praying to their gods ... From the bloody Kali, until the bull Nandi in reciting prayers in his ears.
