Explanation

The Meenakshi Temple at Madurai was built by the Pandyas, a ancient Tamil dynasty that ruled from Madurai. While the present structure dates largely to the Nayak period (16th-17th century), the temple's origins trace back to the Pandyan era. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Meenakshi (Parvati) and her consort Sundareswarar (Shiva).
