  • Madurai - The temple city in Tamil Nadu!!
    Welcome to my UA-cam channel DesiGirl Traveller. In this video, I'll take you on a virtual tour of the captivating city of Madurai. Known as the "Temple City", Madurai is a vibrant cultural hub in Tamil Nadu, India. Join me as I explore this ancient city's rich heritage and historical significance. I'll delve into the fascinating legends surrounding the Meenakshi Amman Temple, a masterpiece of Dravidian architecture. Get ready to be awestruck by the intricately carved pillars, majestic gopurams (gateway towers), and vibrant temple rituals that have been practiced for centuries.
    As I wander through the bustling streets, we'll witness the vibrant energy of Madurai's markets, renowned for their spices, textiles (Sungudi Sarees), Gold covering Jewelry, Bangles, and traditional handicrafts. We'll dive into the flavors of Madurai's cuisine, sampling delectable dishes like the famous Madurai Jigarthanda drink and piping hot idlis served at Murugan Idlis Veg Restaurant with aromatic chutneys.
    Don't miss out on the opportunity to explore the historically significant landmarks such as Thirumalai Nayakkar Palace, a glorious reminder of the city's royal past.
    For those seeking tranquility amidst the chaos, I will take you to the serene Theppakulam Pond, where you can unwind and enjoy the beautiful views with lip-smacking street food. And if you're a history enthusiast, you'll be thrilled to know that Madurai is surrounded by ancient cities and archaeological sites, offering a glimpse into the region's past.
    Join me as I discover the essence of Madurai, a city that seamlessly blends tradition and modernity. Immerse yourself in its vibrant colors, indulge in its rich cultural heritage, and experience the warmth and hospitality of its people. Whether you're planning a visit or simply curious about this magnificent city, this video will provide you with an unforgettable virtual journey through Madurai.

    Hello friends I was born and raised in bengaluru but I love madurai the Athens of the East, one of the oldest city in India. City of great history and heritage, I love the culture of madurai people. It's an emerging city of India. I love jigarthanda, idli, dosa, parotta, jasmine flower, patron Godess of madurai city mother meenaksi. Madurai is a paradise of food lovers. Educational and health care hub of south tamil nadu. Climate is also quite good. I love the astonishing and mesmerising architecture of the temple. People are very hospitable and amiable. Lots of love from karnataka bengaluru

    What the guy was telling you was perfect and getting the bus to pondicherry direct from madurai will only be available during night with advance booking but, the whole day one could get the bus to Villupuram as because all the buses running to Chennai must go through Villupuram only around 160 km before Chennai and from Villupuram every 5 minutes for almost 24 hours you could get the bus to pondicherry which about 40 km east of Villupuram
    The old man gave you the right information only💐

    Wonderful video ,
    Hope u noticed ,devi minakshi is to be worshipped first here ,though it is a temple mainly dedicated to lord shiva ,all pujas and honours are first done to minakshi devi ,
    She is the queen of madurai, she has mastery over all 64 arts , she has two samprathaya ,one is Sri Vidya Lalitha devi and another one is Raja matangi ,
    Her statue is made out of emerald stone ,
    This is the temple where lord shiva played 64 divinely games ,
    Every day she is worshipped in eight swarupam (8 para shakthi's form) which are considered to be secret can't be revealed publicly ,
    This is the city where devi born and brought up as the princess , and faught with deva devas ,and won them, at last she married to lord Shiva who came to madurai in his soundara Rupam ,then they both ruled madurai and gave birth to lord Muruga who ruled madurai later ,
    Alot and lot of secrets and histories are there for devi and temple ,one such is no one is allowed to see the abhisegam (bathing) done to devi since she is the queen of the city ,
    Madurai itself is the Sri chakra ,
    And lot more and more secrets and stories are behind the temple history ,no words are enough to describe ,
    Whatever I described is even less than a fraction of percentage ,
    And this madurai minakshi temple is one among the 3 devi temples in tamilnadu (other two are kanchi kamakshi ,tiruvanaika akiladeswari) ,ward off all our sins and dhosam within a moment we get the dharshan of devi❤️
    Hope everyone visit devi and get her blessings

    When we went to Madurai last year, we had to keep or mobiles at a counter which charged Rs.5.Also one lady asked to show my wife's handbags and she took a bottle of Amritanjan which was there for her headache!. I had also a complaint letter to the Authorities.. In Bangkok (Thailand) No Buddhist temple has boards saying "Photography Prohibited" One can take as much one likes..Its called "Thoonga Nagaram" because the Town does'nt sleep at all..Madurai is also famous for Jasmine flowers.

    For all North Indians planning Madurai..
    Villupuram is part of larger Pondicherry zone only.. that comprises Pondi city/beaches Villupuram (Railway Station at main line), even Cuddalore etc.
    If Pondicherry is Delhi/ Mumbai... Villupuram and Pondi City are Hazrat Nizamuddin - Paschim Vihar and Dadar - Kalyan respectively.
    🙏🏽
