Madurai

In the city we went to the famous Meenakshi Temple dedicated to the wedding of Shiva and his wife.

Huge temple recently painted full of life. Daily receives at least 10.000 and some times 25.000 in special occasions.

The temple has an internal market, lots of pilgrims, tourists, even an elephant bramin we found.

In the afternoon we drove 4 hours to Periyar, crossing lots of rice crops and small villages.
