Madurai, in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, is an energetic, ancient city on the Vaigai River. The 14 colourful gopurams (gateway towers) of Meenakshi Amman Temple dominate the city’s skyline.

Millions of people flock to the Chithirai Festival in April to celebrate Meenakshi and Lord Vishnu.
