Madurai Meenakshi Temple & City Day Trip
Madurai is built around one temple, and this day is built around seeing it properly. Enter the Meenakshi Amman Temple with a guide who can read the gopurams, then the Thirumalai Nayakkar Mahal with its enormous pillared hall, the Gandhi Memorial Museum in the old palace, and the Vaigai riverside. Evening return to the temple for the closing rituals if you wish.
