The Meenakshi Temple - The Meenakshi temple is a beautiful example of Dravidian architecture, with gopurams or multi pillared halls, covered from top to bottom, in a profusion of multicoloured images of gods, goddesses, animals and mythical figures. The temple occupies an area of around six hectares, and has four entrances to it. The museum called the Temple Art Gallery is located within the temple and contains beautiful stone and brass images, examples of South Indian scripts, frescos and is an apt explanation of the Hindu pantheon and many other legends associated with it.
