Madurai, probably over 2500 years old, is the oldest city in Tamil Nadu. Its origin and name emerge from a misty and lovely legend. Situated on the banks of river Vaigai, Madurai, the temple city is the second largest city of Tamil Nadu, in South India. Madurai was an important cultural and commercial centre even as early as 550 AD. Madurai was the capital city of the great Pandya kings. This sacred town attracts thousands of pilgrims and visitors from India and abroad.
The temple and its premises on the southern bank forms the old city, while its textile mills, engineering industries and large university forms the new Madurai.
