Meenakshi-Temple Madurai

Looking for the most significant centre of pilgrimage in South India you get to Madurai. Main attraction is the giant medieval temple of Meenakshi - its 9 "Goporus" (temple towers) impress the character of the town. Around the temple there are lots of small shops in which you can buy offerings but also things for daily use.
