Legend has it that King Kulasekara Pandya built a temple around a Lingam accidentally discovered in the middle of a forest on the banks of Vaigai River. A lotus-shaped city came up around the temple overnight !! When it was time to name the city, Lord Shiva appeared and drops of nectar (mathuram in Tamil) dripped from his matted locks here. The city came to be known as Madurai.
The thousand-pillared Meenakshi Temple welcomes you to Madurai. Being the oldest city in Tamil Nadu, the city is the cradle of Dravidian culture and tradition. If you have never been here, come, experience Madurai.
