The Meenakshi Amman temple complex in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, is an awe-inspiring sight to behold, and one of the finest examples of a south Indian Hindu temple. Soaring to over 50 meters (150 feet) high, the 14 gateway towers, or gopurams, are stunningly decorated with thousands of full color carvings. We also manage to get a look inside the temple, where there is a real elephant!

One should hold such a balanced outlook about all religions.
Please watch Kailash temple in Ellora maharastra
I am Muslim and love my religion. But I must admit that this temple is breathtakingly beautiful. I seriously can't take my eyes off soo beautiful

Sister being a muslim we aren't supposed to hate others religion. This is what our religion teaches us. I'm a Muslim and I do love their art and architecture but I don't love hindus and I don't hate them .. (Lakum deenu kum waliya deen) that's it

Fantastic temples. So amazing. I am speechless and I wonder why these temples are not more popularized. I think all over the world people will like to see these temples.
a place become famous once its being abandoned and becomea visiting muzeum, but in India most of the ancient places of worship is being continued with their cultural practices for thousand of years and still its a living legend for the world to feel the magnificient of the universe & identify our knowledge of self origin.
India is not a tourist friendly country.
@@cruise_control Nothing is easy in this world.
@@VSP4591 no thanks, leave it to Hindus, the true inheritors of these temples. They are definitely not cheap spots for sightseeing! Hindus fought hard to save these from Abrahamics, otherwise we would have been like Africans.
@@infinite5795 Important temples and monuments in Africa (Egipt) are well preserved and well known. Why not Indian temples??
I like Tamil hindus... Great culture and traditions.... Hope peoples of Tamil will preserve their culture and ancient values....
I am from Kerala, the neighbouring state of Tamil Nadu. The one thing I can say about the Tamil is that they will protect a friend with their life and the opposite with their enemies. True Tamils will die before leaving their culture - its from my experience with working with Tamils for around 10 years. Highly proud of their culture.

Wonderful ... For me, India is the most beautiful country in the world. In fact, it is not a country, but another world. A good and beautiful world. So, it become even a family. A great family. And I feel that I'm part of this ❤ family.
Thanks and I wish you all the best, with health and happiness, in peace !

Madurai is the Oldest city in the world with rich and living cultural civilization
sophiakalkin
I think it's Varanasi...oldest...
Madurai is certainly beautiful and breathe-taking but as per records and proofs Varanasi or Banaras is the oldest city in the world.
@Narayanan Moorthy Thank you for the information Narayanan. I will surely research and cross-check on the facts keenly presented by you and if any rectification would be needed, i will provide you bit and pieces of that too. Thank you for the information though buddy.
@Narayanan Moorthy Sure bro. I follow the same ideology. I don't work with argumentation either but definitely on rationality and practicality. I am only gonna learn from you if i am wrong. Cheers!!

Hopefully one day I will visit Meenakshi Temple.

We family are old origins living in Madurai for more than 2000 years Generation by generations.My forefathers have served as soldiers under many more Madurai kings and still we r living in Madurai.I m Proud to be a Madurai person.I have visited this temple more than 1000 times but still not bored.My house is just 1 km from this temple
.
Be blessed
Very very lucky person u are, I really love my INDIA& it's culture, many pure souls like Bhagvan Ramana visited many powerful temples, Madurai is one of them..JAI HIND 🇮🇳
You are a blessed person. Love from America. ❤
You must have felt sorry when the pristine looks of the temple were spoiled by senseless painting.
The elephant is so cute he looks young, they are very intelligent they have memories . :) PEACE India! 🕉
why age specific comment ?
It looks kind of sad to me, I hope someone loves it beyond comprehension...at least one person, I'd say it's more than earned it...
I am From Tamilnadu, INDIA. this temple is near by my town , we love this Temple
Sathesh kumar.. Can u tell me about madurai veerna plz..
@@vitramahabir6784 I'm from Madurai only. I stay very close to this temple. What do you want to know
Rajesh Raghu.. Thank you for replying... Am interested in Madhirai Veteran.. His origin.. An image of him... A mantra.. The time or day he should be worshipped
Love from Bihar ❤🇮🇳
It is difficult NOT to love this temple. You are lucky to have it.
Temples are beautiful and better than Taj mahal
yash cta please don’t compare. Temples with
Cemetery.s. It’s request as a Hindu
💯💯
@@GaneshKumar-bi1zl agree
Don't compair temple with graveyard.
don't compare temples with non sence
1. you CAN take a camera into the Vatican.
2. you CAN take a video camera into the Meenakshi Temple. they charge more for video cameras than stills cameras.
3. only the elephant handler didn't want video taken, but not because that particular place was holy. it was just a hall way near the exit.
4. we were never annoyed. thanks for watching
Dear nroeds, What nonsense is this? I'm a hindu brahmin from south india tamil nadu and I've never heard of such rules. If you are going to make shit up atleast make sure no one can call you out on it.
Cameras and mobiles are not allowed inside temple premises anymore. This rule is in effect since 2018.
Thank you for sharing the beauty of the temple with us.
@@AsuraVeri Who cares what you are!
Be polite when expressing your opinion. Do you own the temple? Just because you have never heard of it it does not mean they made it up. Be mindful of what & why you are accusing them of.
I have visited this temple twice,and each time I was enchanted by the mesmerizing beautiful of the temple.
czcams.com/video/P6qDZo8anA0/video.html
My North Indian friends visited and complained, that they got lost in the temple. True. There are five entrances to the temple. Only 1% can come back exactly from the same gate through which they enter the temple.
Since the temple is built in concentric square, it is easy to get lost inside as you will loose sense of direction once you enter the temple.
Very good and clean temple and near places
I really loved the atmosphere
Love from Kerala ❤️

I am Muslim but good looking architecture love from Mumbai 🇮🇳☮️hindu brothers🥀 we unity ♥️ peace ✌️
There are hundreds of beautiful temples India but this is my favourite temple .
This temple should deserves on Seven wonders of the world list.I visited Meenakshi Temple for the first time I don't wanna lie I cried a lot because this temple is the most beautiful temple in the world I've ever seen in my life ✨ 💖.
Tajmahal and This Temple are my favorites 😍❤
Love from Assam .
You can never explore India if you are in a hurry. I visited this beautiful country five times for 3 months and I don´t know India, I just have an idea whats INDIA.
A few hours for this temple is not enough, I spent three days there and still it was not long enough .
why is india never mentioned about great stone work as wat is there is much better than wat is at egypt.
william mccann That is a big question, there are thousands of more beautiful and eye catching, mind blowing temples in India but the only thing travellers ate interested in is taj mahal which is not as beautiful as these temples, infact taj mahal was also a Hindu temple but the mughal terrorist broke it and took over it and built a so called tomb for his so called wife when he had hundred more in his palace. India should teach these things and about these beautiful temples insted if a stupid mughal kings and British who killed and looted India.
william mccann. The great Architectural/sculpting works etc was originated from Indusvally in India and over a period of time it spread all over the world
william mccann - because those mother fucking so called European historians or scholars think world is revolving around so called ancient civiluzations like Egypt, mesopotamia, Sumeria, Babylon, Rome and Greek etc., So that, they can conveniently link into Vatican fabricated Bible and Christ which is more than 50% lies. They unscrupulously avoided the fact that all those civiluzations had cultural and commercial link with ancient India. Your God and the Arab god are the relatively recent phenomena where as Hindu religion, culture and the customs predates all and is still practiced and prevailing.
Because Temples are only for prayer not for any proud of something
Can I add that there are 33000 sculptures in what you see
I am Bangladeshi hindu..i wish i can visit this Temple in my life..if god give me will must go..
the towers are simply awe-inspiring and even larger in person. definitely worth a visit!
These towers seems as
extra-terrestrial ships landing on Earth. Only it was a town there. Splendid structures.

we can on top of that ?
I am from Calicut -Kerala . I am a strong devote of Sree Madurameenashi Devi .

In india there is 3 type of temples...
1. Dravidian in south.
2. Nagara in north
3. Vesara in eastern india... 🙏🙏🙌
Thank u bro 🙏🙏...
@அழகான ராட்சசி i also wote it dravidian bro.. It's a slight different from our eastern india. Specially the top of the temple
The fact is Madurai is as old as Kashi, Madurai is the only place in the entire galaxy where Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi along with their children Ganesha and karthikeya stayed here and ruled as king and queen for centuries that much they loved this place Madurai. Lord Shiva remainds Goddess Parvathi its time they should move from here to Kailasa, Goddess Parvati does not want to leave this place hence she promised Madurai people that she took a standing form ( currently where The Goddess Meenakshi stands inside temple) when ever they need she will address their issues, Hence Lord shiva also took a form and staying along with Meenakshi Amma inside this temple same as Ganesha and Kartikeya too.
How nice. This is a place for GODS.
ji
Yes there are two more important temples for karthikeya is built in madurai and there are also some big and famous temples for lord Vishnu built in and around the city.
Wow what an amazing architecture !! and Madurai is the hometown of Sundar Pichai (CEO of Google)🙂
Saw them twice : unforgettable !
My most favorite Temple is Madura Meenakshi Temple . one of the biggest most
beautiful ancient architectural designs Hindu Temple which is amazing in the world.
What a temple! How skilled the builders of these temples were!

CHERA,CHOLA,PANDYA, PALLAVA kingdom 💥🤟
You missed Pallava's too.. They are equally good..
So happy you two finally made a video of South India your fans have been waiting! It came out great btw one of your best.
I am born and raised in Madurai. Each sculpture is some character in Tamil literature. There are lots of stories behind each and every sculpture in poetical format. My mom used to take me here every weekend in the sixties and seventies and narrate the stories. Thank God we didn't have TVs and cell phones were there not there. The temple used to be our faith and entertained at same time. As I grew up virtually in this temple couldn't accept temples in north India as true Hindu temple.
Wow those are incredible!!! Wonderful camera and auditory work here. Makes me want to go!!
I have did my post graduation in this city, but every day evening, my presence will be there in the temple, reason unknown.
The more I watch such gems, I m more in love with Temple Art of India. I know being a Pakistani, I may not get visa to visit such magical monuments but even then, love gets stronger.
Thanks to you to share with us this wonderful journey. I look at the images with a lot of pleasure. Good evening to you.
The interiors of the temple bear stunning sculpture.
Thats a great video. Cheers from New Zealand :)
Spectacular, beautiful indian Temple. Thank you for amazing video. 😀🎀🎀🎀
Amazing view, I am Tamilnadu but I not see this kind view, this is awesome, thanks for this view

My Madurai. I stay close to the temple.
You are so blessed
Seeing this wonderful structure, and how its tall corridors, painted and pillared, are used by worshipers, one get an idea of how Egyptian temples may have once looked - thronging with devotees and busy with temple rituals.
Proud to be in madurai &tamilan
