Once Upon a Madurai

Old cities often whisper a history that you have to strain to hear, Madurai, with its temples and traditions is no different. Trail through a history of millenia that has seen vain monuments dedicated to fanciful gods, the legacies of ambitious mortals cast in stone, and the more recent tales of kings and rulers, all of whom have shaped the city and still dictate its rhythms.
