Detailed explanation-1: -Also known as the ‘Taj Mahal of the South, the Meenakshi Temple in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, is grand, both in terms of its religious and historical significance, and it’s grand architecture. It’s also one of India’s most visited temples, and is a must-visit spot in South India.
Detailed explanation-2: -The earliest temple at Madurai was likely constructed in the 7th century C.E., but the temple complex we experience today is largely the work of the Nayak dynasty in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Meenakshi Temple complex is literally a city – one of the largest of its kind in India and undoubtedly one of the oldest too. The temple grew with the contribution of each dynasty and victorious monarchs, into an enormous complex extending over an area of 65000 Sq m.
