 Meenakshi
Sundareswarar Temple
The plurality of faiths centered around the Meenakshi
Sundareswarar temple, the splendour of its festival
traditions, the invocation of events from the 1st millennium
CE in its festival traditions (as in the enactment of
the Tiruvilayadal Puranam), the association with the
Golden age of Tamil literature - the Sangam period,
the abundance of literature associated with the temple,
the wealth of sculpture seen in the temple, the popularity
of the temple in terms of the number of visitors etc.
contribute to this standing.
Azhagar Kovil
Here ' Vishnu ' presides as Meenakshi's brother ' Azhgar
'. During the Chitrai festival in April/May, when the
celestial marriage of Meenakshi to Sundareswarar is
celebrated, Azhagar travels to Madurai. A gold processional
icon called the Sundararajar is carried by devotees
in procession from Azhagar Kovil to Madurai for wedding
ritual.
Palamudhirsolai
, one of the six abodes of Lord Subramanya is on the
same hill, about 4 kms. above. A natural spring called
Nuburagangai where pilgrims bath, is located here.

This Palace was built in 1636 by King Thirumalai Nayak
with the help of an Italian Architect. The building
we see today was the main Palace where the King lived.

the present structure. This palace consisted mainly
of two parts, namely Swargavilasa and Rangavilasa. |
