The Spirit of the World ( On and Off)
Rich in History
Our road trip has taken us in the city of Madurai which is known as the City of Nectar. It is said that drops of nectar fell from the coils of Shiva's hair onto the city. This is the Sri Meenakshi Temple which dates back to the 1st Century AD. Much of the temple was restored and added to in the 16th and 17th century. The temple was dedicated to the consort of Shiva.
The history of India is so ancient and so complicated. The workmanship found on the well preserved temples always is always remarkable. Such a beautiful building deserves and art gallery frame!
