The landmark story

The Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple stands on the southern bank of the Vaigai in Madurai, dedicated to Meenakshi, a form of Parvati, and Sundareswarar, a form of Shiva. A temple here is referenced in Tamil texts from the 6th century; early structures were built under the Pandyas and later rebuilt by the Vijayanagara Empire.
