Madurai Main

The Madurai Main neighborhood revolves around the dazzling Meenakshi Amman Temple with its colorful towers that practically scream "take my picture!" Narrow streets buzz with shoppers haggling over silk sarees and brass items in vibrant bazaars like Pudhu Mandapam.

Getting around is best done on foot or by auto-rickshaw since the historic lanes are too narrow for larger vehicles. Budget guesthouses and mid-range hotels offer comfortable stays just steps from the spiritual heart of this ancient city.
