Madurai is the cultural hub of Tamil Nadu playing a vital role in promoting Tamil language for many centuries. Of all the major cities in Tamil Nadu, Madurai is the only city that is known to exist for nearly two millennia. The city has its heritage attractions like Meenakshi Amman Temple and Thirumalai Nayakkar Mahal. The present day Madurai is known to be an education hub with many renowned engineering, medical and arts colleges. The one on the image is the American College building in Madurai. While the old Indian rulers had left a mark on Madurai, the colonial touch is visible in parts of the city.
Wow, there are some stunning places in this list!
This is very beautiful! Thank you for sharing the great places to visit, so we know where to go when we visit there. )
I have visited Meenakshi temple. It’s huge and beautiful – Vanakkam!
Amazing place and a great article.
Thanks for your comment Tasartcraft.
amazing that a city could last for so long
Well said Alex. Few cities manage to stand the test of time.
Eventually they all fall. Madurai has outlasted most of the other cities, even cities centuries younger…
This is a very popular place
Yes Abhishek. Madurai is a favorite destination for many travelers.
It looks like a very nice old town. India has many attractions.
This old city of Madurai has been the biggest town in South Tamil Nadu for over a thousand years. Many other ancient towns have disappeared with the passage of time. Few like Madurai are fortunate to survive retaining some of its heritage value.
The American College building in Madurai has a beautiful classical architecture with exposed brick walls that I like.
We are alike in that aspect. I like exposed brick walls too.
Very prominent cultural heritage, my friend … in India you have a lot of temples
True Lado. Heritage is what adds character to any place.
Madurai Meenakshi Amman temple is simply great!
Yes Raaman. It is a jewel from the past.
In India you have many old cultural attractions. The building looks like an old castle.
Yes Lacho. It looks like one.
