Madurai is a classical city where ancient trade system still functions, where ancient man peddled man cycle rickshaws still roams, where ancient poetic sects regularly met and recite classical texts, where ancient sacred hymns sung 365 days for the citadel of the fish-eyed goddess, where ritual and religion rule, where modern world came stand-still in front of the classical world.
When we came for 3 day visit for Madurai, It was our third visit for this India’s foremost temple city, which situated in the southern tip of the sub-continent. Magellan to Marco Polo, and William Darlymple to Michael Wood has visited and spellbound with the beauty of this ancient city, and they share their excitement through words to the world.
