One of the most popular temple towns in India is Madurai. Located in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, this region once served as the kingdom of the Pandya kings. The Pandyas endowed this town with many historical edifices and temples, which today stand as the main attractions of Madurai. The Meenakshi Amman Temple is the prime attraction of this town. Dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, this temple is one of the best examples of Dravidian style of architecture. The Koodal Alagar Temple, Pazhamudhir Solai, and Tirupparankundram Murugan Temple are other places of religious importance. While travelling in Madurai, tourists must not miss to pay a visit to the Thirumalai Nayak Mahal. Built in 1636, this palace flaunts a stunning fusion of Dravidian and Islamic architectural styles. To get familiar with the interesting history of Indian independence, tourists can step in the Gandhi Museum. An architectural marvel in itself, this museum has a wide selection of artefacts including a bloodstained dhoti of Mahatma Gandhi.
