ABOUT THE PLACE :
Kodaikanal
Kodaikanal is a hill town in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It’s set in an area of granite cliffs, forested valleys, lakes, waterfalls and grassy hills. At 2,000 meters above sea level, the town centers around man-made, star-shaped Kodaikanal Lake, bordered by evergreen forest.
Meenakshi Amman Temple
is one of the most sacred and iconic temples in India, dedicated to Goddess Meenakshi (a form of Parvati) and Lord Sundareswarar (Shiva). Located in the heart of Madurai, Tamil Nadu, this temple is not just a spiritual center but a symbol of Tamil culture, devotion, and Dravidian architecture.
It stands as one of the few temples in India where the Goddess is the primary deity, highlighting the strength and divinity of feminine energy. With its towering gopurams, intricate sculptures, and over a thousand-pillar hall, the temple is a masterpiece of ancient art and engineering.
More than a place of worship, it represents love, power, and cosmic balance, drawing millions of devotees and tourists every year.
