O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Skoro 33.000 skulptura krasi 14 gopurama hrama, a južni toranj se uzdiže 52 metara uvis. Hramova dvorana sa hiljadu stubova zapravo sadrži 985 zamršeno isklesanih stubova, od kojih je svaki jedinstven.
Istaknuto: Svako veče oko 21 čas, bronzana statua Šive kao Sundarešvarara se nosi iz njegovog svetilišta u Meenašijine odaje u svečanoj procesiji kroz hodnike obasjane svećama. Posmatrati zlatnu palankinu kako se ljulja kroz gomile vernika, dok uljane lampe trepere i ritmovi bubnjeva odjekuju od drevnih kamenih zidova, deluje kao da ste zakoračili 500 godina u prošlost.
Insajderski saveti
- Climb the south gopuram for 20 INR around 6 PM to get sunset views over Madurai's skyline with 14 colorful towers rising around you.
- Remove your shoes outside the main gate and store them for 10 INR, not at the inner counters where they charge triple.
- Visit the 'musical pillars' in the thousand-pillar hall and knock on different spots each pillar produces a different musical note.
- Go to the temple kitchen between 11 AM and 1 PM to watch 1,000 kilograms of rice being cooked daily in massive iron vats for the free prasadam meal.
