MANGALA DEVI TEMPLE:Kottam 'or' Mangaladevi Kannagi 'temple' and daily pujas were performed At an altitude of about 1,337 m, it sits above the mean sea level (4,386 ft).

The goddess Gowmari restored one eye's sight and prayed to the god Arulmigu Kanneeswaramudaiyar to restore the other eye's sight.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT MADURAI

When we reach its threshold, the scent of Jasmine fills the air of Madurai and gives us pleasure. Madurai is a popular city in Tamil Nadu and has been held in high esteem by many ancient poets.

In Tamilnadu, Madurai is a historic location. There are many legends in Madurai City, in many ancient scriptures, like Silapathigaram, Meenaktchi pilla Tamil, and much more, this ancient city has been stated. It is a large belief that Madurai was the centre of Sangam Tamil literature and that three famous Tamil Sangams were commemorated here according to the puranas.

Madurai's known history dates back to the 3rd century BC. It mentions Megasthenes, the Greek ambassador to India, as well as Kautilya. The Meenakshi Sundareswararar Temple is the geographical centre and the centre around which local people's daily lives revolve. In 1310, the Muslim invader Malik Kafur ransacked the original temple and it is assumed that the new structure was built between 1623 and 1655 CE.

Walk with us along Madurai streets, see the most peculiar sights and experience the culture of Madurai people. In the Indian independence movement, Madurai played a major role; it was after seeing farm workers wearing the loin cloth in Madurai that Mahatma Gandhi decided to turn to wearing one on his own.

Madurai festivals are popular and attract a large number of tourists. The 10-day annual festival celebrated during April-May, Meenakshi Tirukalyanam, attracts over a million visitors. The Jallikattu game of taming angry bulls is similar to the Pampalona Bull Race, held in Spain.
I'm so glad to write about the vivacious face of Madurai, being a Maduraite. Madurai has been wrongly depicted by the power of the media as a city of violence and a rural area.

The town that never sleeps, hotels, shops and markets in Madurai are open 24/7, living up to its sobriquet. Some unique flavoured drinks, such as Jigarthanda and Paruthi Pal, are available in the region. Restaurants in Madurai also serve non-vegetarian food, unlike in other pilgrimage towns. But, at your own risk, sample non-vegetarian dishes because they appear to be very spicy.

Vegetarians don't have to despair. Eateries serving authentic meals and breakfast in the Iyengar style can also be easily found in the region. Rajasthani thalis are also sold by some restaurants. In addition to the ubiquitous South Indian specialties, Chinese, Continental and Chettinad cuisine can be relished.
