Visit this temple once to see the grandeur ...There are plenty of literature available tracing the history of this temple. Like most places in Tamilnadu, this temple was also centre of the city...
Could you please tell me at which months of the year is the temple least crowded?

There is a wrong fact in that video.
Madurai Meenakshi Amman temple was built by The Pandiyans around 1st to 4th Century CE not by the Madurai Nayakas, Madurai Nayakas and later other Dynasties renovated some parts of the Temple.

Moreover it's "Meenatchi Amman" not Meenakshi Amman.
😑😑😑
@@deekesh7321 Its a proper noun .. you can say it how you like.
@@Sticklemako
There is no actual "shi" word in Tamil.
Meenatchi literally means "Fish rule" which indicates that it's the family deity of Pandya kings who had fish as the symbol of their kingdom.
In Tamilnadu, till now it's reffered as Meenatchi Amman by everyone.
They are not really interchangeable since Meenakshi's meaning is different, Meenatchi's meaning is different..

Taj Mahal is nothing in front of these Traditional Indian Architectures.
So true.
@Heritage of Hindus Liberals have captured and took control over history for their political and foreign religious benefits now they can manipulate it however they want that's the problem.
Yes
Taj Mahal bhi hinduyu ne banaya tha Tumko kya lagta hai anpad arbi Lootere kuch Bana sakte hai
Madhurai, Kanchi, Tirupati, Srisailam, Rameswaram, Simhachalam, Annavaram, Kalahasti, Badhrachalam, such great sights
Donations go to preservation of this huge temple. Because you cannot recreate such detailed work from 2,500 years old temple. Everything you saw in this temple is hand crafted, every 33,000 sculptures is done by hands. Its is more older than taj mahal itself, and more difficult structure than taj mahal.
@@icecream2487 It's Taj Mahal, there's no such thing as tejo mahalaya lol
@@Rudra0141 😂😂
I'm not sure if it is even possible to compare the difficulty needed to create artistic marvels like these - and I mean structures like The Meenakshi temple, The Taj Mahal, The Sun Temple, The Khajuraho Temples- all.
I have not yet had the privilege to visit the Madurai Meenakshi Temple but I can honestly say I was flabbergasted by the skill and the effort required to do a small 'meenakari' piece on a marble coaster. How much more complex must it be on huge panels of the Taj - add to that the gradual adjustments made due to the increasing height along the gigantic doorway frames so the scriptures at the top seem the same size as the ones at the bottom and my mind is blown.
I'm not comparing the two. I'm simply saying you cannot write off the craftsmanship in the Taj as a mere nothing.

Tamilnadu is home to many huge temples (mega temples). The architecture, sculpture on granite stones with intricate details are astonishing. You guys just need to do temple darshan tour to entire south India .
Karnataka. (Badami, pattadkal, aihole, belur, halebid, hampi, mysore, somnathpura, etc) highly intricate details . Your mind can't comprehend all at one glance.

Sorry for my bad English bro but as a person from central India we proud on our South Indian brothers atleast we have some heritage of our ancestors 🙂
All of India had such grand temples. In the north, most got destroyed by Mughals. In the south, it was preserved. This is why South is the real India and Real Indian culture.
@@RoRZoro Mughals nd sultans destroyed more Temple's in Tamilnadu nd South side too
You need to hear details about this temple carvings and history. Please watch documentary on this. It’s amazing.
Where can one watch it?
Thanks :)
Its a big temple... the pillars in this video..they look like repetitions but they sre on different sides.. the video should have had the some facts and interesting stories they tell when we go there... the different scenes changed abruptly... the video could have been better

Singapore government played the song "Thanjavuru Manneduthu" from the film Porkalam at the beginning of the State funeral for two-time President S.R. Nathan.“He once told me that of all my songs, particularly this number, evoked inexpressible feeling. He could never locate the birth place of his ancestors in Tamil Nadu and he would take solace that it could be one of the places that finds reference in the song,” said Mr. Vairamuthu who written this song
We believe the deity inside the temple is a living deity - so they eat, sleep, bathe etc exactly like humans. Afternoons - they are resting after their meal - so temples are shut.
You should react to Praveen Mohan's videos on Ancient Indian architecture and technology. You'll get a lot of insight in the subject.
I second that thought
Yes just found his channel yesterday and man was it worth watching his videos. He explains so well
Thanks Ashley for excellent recommendation 👍
Infant thevideo discusses amazing facts of architecture and archaeological aspects too
I second that !!! His videos and explanation are great !
The man is a charlatan. He is not to be trusted. He peddles pseudoscience. Please beware of him.
i went there as a kid.. we had a south trip.. it was one of the finest trips we had. people, places n food everything just fab❤️. i was in class 3 back then.
08:15 "... limited knowledge and technology...." - Korbin couldn't be more wrong about this. For all the technological advancements we've made, we have no clue abut how ancient structures were built. Assuming that they were inferior in knowledge and technology is the folly that modern humans make. They were far superior. The sheer arrogance and stupidity of us modern humans is astounding.
Well they are still stupid even after watching so many videos about the architectural splendor of India aren't they? So we can't blame them.😄
Couldn't agree more
We are getting technologically advanced not the other way around ..
If we were more advanced some thousands years ago then did the earth eat all our technology ?
These temples are sure splendid but keeping in mind slavery and ridiculous man force its not unfathomable..
@@harshkumarmishra2030 yes they didn't have alot of technology back then but they had knowledge about stuff and hence created instruments that helped them create such stuff
@@harshkumarmishra2030 the problem with your statement is that you assume our technology is somehow far superior to theirs, when in fact you have no clue how they went about building the structures. It's all about perspective.

This temple is too beautiful and is one of the finest works of Indian architecture

YOU GUYS SHOULD WATCH THE EPISODE NO 22 & 23 OF BHARAT KE KHOJ. It deals with construction of Rajarajeshwar temple also in tamilnadu
I concur, such underrated series! Good suggestion!
This thinking is actually incorrect that ancient India didn't have technology, instead I would say that their technology was much more advanced than ours now a days. And that too in engineering and scientific knowledge was much high than ours.
Yes
Madurai foods are best , they present it with love and care u must try it..
There is a history blunder it says madurai nayakas built. it is wrong..... pandiyan kings built this temple many centuries ago
Pandiyan king started but later nayakkas finished it even inside the temple carvings it's mentioned
@@chill_world yes true ..not only them other kings later renovated the temple...pandiyan kings to be highlighted to get the idea of proper time period
Am suggest you brothers see that madurai meenakshi temple aerial view...you should realize how wonder is that...
It’s one of the best temples of India … it’s a marvel which every Indian should see from their own eyes… it’s mind boggling, can’t understand how someone pulled off such massive project thousands of years back. There are several places where one stone runs from ground to top and several sculptures have been carved out from single piece of rock… it’s crazy
We Indians are extremely good at rock carving. We did it in Elaapura (Ellora) too, no?
Oh my! I saw this video today and co-incidentally I visited the temple for the first time just 3 days ago, on 21st Sept. Its absolutely magnificent! You guys couldn't see much of it in the video cuz you are not allowed to take electronic devices inside the temple but take my word, its magnificent! In fact, almost every temple in Southern India are. The detailing on these structures are mind boggling.
am from madurai near this temple😍❤.. proud to be madurakaran 💥❤💪..

For anyone's information:
Meenaakshi means 'the fish-eyed one', and refers to the Goddess of the temple, the beautiful-eyed one.
Sundareshvara means 'the beautiful [handsome] lord', and refers to the youthful Shiva who happily enjoys his time with his wife. He also has a local name of affection: 'Sokkalingeshvaran', or 'the lord with pride as his identity'. The comedy is that his wife is so beautiful that Shiva feels smug and self-satisfied in her presence, resulting in a mild bit of arrogance.
Sundareshvara is also hailed as the one who presided over the first two (mythical) Sangams of early Tamil literature. Only the third Sangam is a real historical event from the early centuries CE. One story from the Sangam corpus refers to Natkeera or Nakkeera, a poet in the Pandya court who got in a bit of an odd fix with Sundareshvara. This is the story-
Once, the Pandya king was wandering with his wife in the Leelodyaana (pleasure garden; a well maintained park), when he smelt a wonderful scent coming from somewhere. He went and smelt all the fragrant flowers in the garden, but could not detect that scent on any of them. He was perplexed, and decided to set this as a challenge to the poets of his court to fulfil using a Kaavyalinga or Hetutprekshaa-Alankaaras (those two are poetic ornaments based around abstract extrapolation of causes). He announced he would give hefty sums of money for someone who could come up with a suitable poem.
A young but poor Braahmana in the temple of Meenaakshi, a devotee of Sundareshvara, felt this reward would fill his great many needs completely, even sparing a bit more. But alas- he had no poetic talent. So he pleaded to the prideful and playful lord Sundaresha, and begged him to grant to him the ability to write a single good enough poem. Shiva, ever the soft-hearted one, felt sorry for the young man and told him "Don't worry, child- take this; I've written out a Chaupadi (quatrain) for you. It's really quite excellent, and should bring you that which you desire in court tomorrow. Go and read this out as your own." Overjoyed, the Braahmana went to court and read out the poem. It extrapolated that the divine scent came from the hair of the queen as a result of her grand virtues. Most of the court loved the poem and lauded the Braahmana to no end.
Natkeera, however, was not one of them. "How can this be?!", he asked, "How can you appreciate such a work? It has no basis in logic! The queen's hair was not bedecked with perfumes that day, as it was an intimate moment with no formality. How can the scent come from her hair? This poem is of no good at all!" His logic was of such grandeur that the king felt he needn't give the reward to the Braahmana. Crying, the poor fellow came back to the temple and chided the lord- 'You! You cheated me! They denied me what you said I should get! Now do something.'
Sundareshvara was taken aback. "But why?", he asked. The Braahmana tearfully narrated the whole set of events. Shiva decided to go to court himself, in disguise, and propounded that due to poetry's natural distance from harsh realities, such exaggerations have value and beauty. Natkeera, however, being a Taarkika (logician) of the highest order, scoffed at this decision, drawing on the texts of logic and analysis to support his argument. Tiring of his salvo, Sundareshvara revealed himself in his true form and said "You there! Natkeera! I am Sundaresha, lord of this great city. Will you accept my argument now? It is I who wrote this poem, and I demand the money to be given to this poor man!" Natkeera laughed and said "What do I care? It's still a blatant idiocy to accept such statements. I will not bend!" Shiva lost it and burnt Natkeera to ashes.
He immediately regretted his decision and granted Natkeera a boon- he would be reborn with full prowess in poetry and language from the Potraamarai-kuzham, the lake of golden lotuses.
Most of the Indian states have temple boards which means it would be under govt. Bcz these were under monarchy and now controlled by govt. Hinduism is an unorganised religion and have no religious authority to supervise it. So government is basically the supervisor. So when u donate money, it will go to the board of hindu temples in that state which is under government. They use that money for protection and preservation of all other hindu temples of that state. Actually even for security a lot of money is needed bcz it contain valuable gold items and terrorist bombings can happen any time. in some temples free food is given like that of golden temple. so expenditure is in there also.
You touched a sensitive subject with donations. Since British times, Indian temples have been under govt. control and govt. appoints a trust to manage the funds. However same is not with other religious places. There is an ongoing movement in India which is now gathering momentum for govt. to 'Free Hindu Temples'.
Even before British Govt managed these temples. The govt formed by kings
Tamil nadu government has seperate sector to maintain big and old temples like this approximately 34000 temples
Due to income purpose they are doing like that, No govt have true interest of protecting Indian culture.
Niresh,please do not spread wrong information....endowment board is such a useless dept.whole India knows that.....
madurai temple is so beautiful.. i really hope to revisit the southern states of our country. vivid memories of madurai, Chennai, bangalore, Rameshwaram, mysore, ooty, Thiruvananthapuram still in my mind...
@@trueindian6966 sir tamil nadu government the ruling party has been elected by our Tamil Nadu people.ups and downz are there in temple management but it is more secure because some sangi fake Guru's are trying to start movements to free temples from indirect authority of tamil people and trying to convert it to corporate business
Sanghis accept only privatisation
The temple has 14 gopurams or gateway towers.. southern gopuram is the tallest of them all with a height of 170 feet.
Meenatchi from Tamil meen - fish plus atchi - rule was the goddess of the ancient pandya dynasty who were displaced from the sunken continent , Kumari Kandam. Pandya totem is twin fish. In hindu purana/myth the fish known as Matysa was supposed to f saved king vaivasvata aka Manu the progenitor of human race, a Dravidian king from the deluge that submerged his land. The story of huge flood is mentioned in many civilsations. Jewish, Tamil, Sumerian etc
Don't state facts man... North Indians would get offended.

I've been to the Meenakshi temple guys and I don't think this video did justice to it . The scale of the temples in Tamil Nadu from ancient and medieval times is unbelievable. If you visit Tamil Nadu, I'd suggest Madurai, Mahabalipuram and Rameshwaram just for the magnificent temples.
Hai... Rick and Korbine , Happy that you reacted to one of our City Temple.... Great Temple... And I would be happy if you visit Madurai.. famously known as Temple City...!!!
Great Pandiyas Construction 🐟
There was a song from Raja sir's music Madura mari kozhunthu vasam from enga ooru pattukaran
I dont know who is suggesting all misleading facts about one of the greatest historical place in planet. Such a worse video you reacted to.
When they reconsidered World Wonders.....We had 2 nominations from India...1- Taj Mahal 2- Meenakshi Temple. Option 2 lost by just few votes!!
This temple was not nominated for the 7 wonders cause Taj Mahal was more famous in the western part of the world, but this is a real wonder.
Tamil Nadu comes under south India nd has many majestic ancient temples nd sculptures with interesting facts about it pls do react for the TANJORE BIG TEMPLE( Brihadeshwara Temple) build by RAJA RAJA CHOLAN is one of the magnificent temples in Tamilnadu
Apart from praying.. I used to go this temple and just sit near the pond side(the last picture of this video) for hours. It was so refreshing and simply beautiful 😍
Usually the traditional practices in the South India is that Temple timings are opened from Morning 5 AM - 12 or 1 PM and from 4 or 5 PM - 9 PM. Various Pooja ( Kind of ritual to honor the god or recite to the god of what's going on and why people have come.. ) are performed within those specific time. Only specific temples have full day opened in Tamil Nadu.
This Place is a Majestic One and this temple is a Hub for Four special things which Kings used to promote those times.
1. Culture, Arts & Poetry,
2. Education
3. Warfare
4. Record Keeping of Books, Languages & History.
There are few records to even prove that the Damascus Steel also known as Wootz Steel were believed to be prepared here by the Pandiyan Kingdom even before the other countries recognized it. (Meaning Metallurgy concepts was one of the prime focus in studies even in Early Pandya Period.)
There are various records from international travelers in BCE Periods.
It's worth visiting this temple and there are various other temples which will make awe-struck when you visit it. Tamil History is so vast, but they didn't come on history books in other Indian regions due to some political or unknown reasons.
I'd love to take you in tour when you visit here in Tamil Nadu.
Some channels says that most of the Architecture and sculptures of India are built by aliens.....without knowing Indian history and talent of people who built by hardwork....

Incredible India " Speechless " how beautiful Madurai Meenakshi Temple.. Amazing skills.. impossible
..shocks you too..stone carvings..🙄😑🥰
I along with my friends took a mini tour bus from Bengaluru and went to the Madurai Meenakchi temple. It is magnificent. We were just in awe of it
Exactly...it would be nice if they also did narrated history of our madurai meenakshi temple..she is still rulling our city and believe it...oh God goosebumps and tears
This video does No justice at all. This is huge magnificent amazing temple bulit century ago. Sheer beauty ! I was born just outside the West tower but never lived there except for annual vacation visits to my grandparents home. One will be lost inside wandering for hours , if there is no local guide. It will take easily 2 days to see the full temple in-depth. The architecture, craftsmanship , precise civil and engineering structure. Etc.. is mind blowing . Can't believe it was done centuries ago. Easily one of the world wonders. ! 🙏🙏🙏 the atmosphere inside is so serene and we can sit near the pond for hours ! Moreover its a fully functional temple. Madurai city itself is nearly 2500 - 3000 years old. Its a foodie's paradise. The best south cuisine you can get here 👍 its a city that never sleeps. I had hot dinner even at 2.30 am 😋😋👌😀👍
Temple donations are mostly used for temple preservation and renovation, prasad and food servings to visitors (you must try a temple meal (similar to langar in gurudwaras) in the south atleast once) , temple staff salaries, purchase and maintenance of items for regular/festival events, etc..
God bless you all ❤️
This video cover only 5% of this temple pls go through the Google about Madurai meenakshi temple
I didn't know that it has been painted in so many colors. An amazing work of art and architecture. Only in India one would such splendor and this level of intricate carvings.
This is just a glimpse of the culture. More more to be explored about our country. Culture and hospitality to western people
Even not showed fifty percentage. Ones u see this temple. Your feeling will go 2500 years back, what a feel..
Finally My Hometown
U have to visit it, to see it's beauty, un believable work by humans of those times 🙏🙏
Sir lots of love and respect from India
These temples are reportly it was built 2500 years ago but nobody knows the real age of these temples.
This temple was destroyed by many Muslim kings but was rebuilt by the Hindu Kings, that explains the coloured paints. Most ancient temples are not painted. You will be mesmerized by its beauty when you visit it.
Temples were cultural,spiritual,educational centres,plundered by Mughals and British ,these are some few whom they could not reach due to war in the northern and western India ,you could react to Motera Sun Temple in Gujarat which is fabulous and mind blowing
I'm happy you are exploring India beyond Bollywood n Big B. Thanks
It was not a very informative video. There should have been a full video with explanations.

You should react to Praveen Mohans videos to know the wonders of this temples. He is an amazing archeologist.
I am sculptor and from my point of view they actually did wrong that they painted one of the masterpiece of carving in india. Stone or granite itself have own beauty. Play of shadow and light was fantastic on pure stone. But anyway, i really didn't like painted sculptures like this one
Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple is 450 km down south from Chennai.Madurai have Airport. MADURAI is Thoongaa nagaram ( Round the clock sleepless busy city)minimum 1 to 2 hrs time to see various architectures and to know epic history of more than several Hundred years back marvellous Hindu Temple like Tirupathy in Andra.
Oh Rick ots very much real, believe me I live just 10 or so kilometers away from this temple and it is really enchanting to say the least
Please do a video about our Kochi. Kochi (also known as Cochin) is a city in southwest India's coastal Kerala state. It has been a port since 1341, when a flood carved out its harbor and opened it to Arab, Chinese and European merchants. Sites reflecting those influences include Fort Kochi, a settlement with tiled colonial bungalows and diverse houses of worship. Cantilevered Chinese fishing nets, typical of Kochi, have been in use for centuries.
Kochi has a diverse, multicultural, and secular community consisting of Hindus, Christians, Muslims, Jains, Sikhs, Konkanis and Buddhists among other denominations.Also you can find Jewish SYNAGOGUE. Dutch palace and cemetery.You can see people from every where in Kochi. People are so cool here. Always welcome to Kerala 😀
Madurai is the oldest city in the world with rich and living cultural civilization.
This is our history ...our culture our heritage ...proud to be HINDU.
HAR HAR MAHADEV
A version of Meenakshi temple is in Houston TEXAS as well where the sculptures have come from India. only one of its kind outside of India dedicated to Meenakshi, the goddess of marriage. The temple is adorned with granite imported from India, and it was built to be an exact replica of the Sree Meenakshi Temple in Madurai. All told, there are 16 gods and goddesses celebrated at the Sri Meenakshi Temple, and you’ll see their shrines and get to know them as you explore the temple complex.
Really what is the name?
Last Picture you saw , temple Water Tank is not Meenakshi Amman Temple its Chidambaram Temple. Meenakshi amman Temple water tank is small and always has less water.
Commenting from the land of madurai. One day is not enough to view the details of the temple. I am glad that you could get the point where how humans built this. You were in awe. Trust me. Even if yu go every day to the temple. You ll be in awe every single time 💚 no mobiles and cameras are allowed inside the temple now
You can save the Beauty inside your heart through your eyes.
Next temple would be Tanjore big temple. 💚
Korbeans really said "Humans with limited knowledge" back in the day...seriously!
Thirumalai Naicker built the outer walls and some renovations of the Temple. This temple has been built by Sadayavarman Pandiyan king. All the Gods and temple of us but the stories of Ariyans.
This temple is so ancient that you will find the richness and the royalty of those days monarchy of Indian culture. 👍👍
Not the matter of technology, its ancient architecture of India and Architects and Engineers at that time created Meenaakshi temple at that time, Now no one and no technology can make the temple again like that. 💐💐💐💐
In fact you need a couple of days to explore this magnificent temple. Inside the temple there are jaw dropping carvings on huge pillars.
Temples are not open 24*7.
They are usually opened early morning and will be closed by early night time.
Since temples in India used to be the private properties of early Monarchy, after independence, most of the temples are Govt owned , run by special board elected by Govt. There can be differences in it with whom the temple earlier belonged to .(This is how it is in Kerala)
While most of the donation money is assumed to be used for temple renovations, it's maintenance, free food for devotees , salary to the numerous staffs, the govt has access to the donation money, I guess.
I have visited madurai this temple and its damn big and my feet was in so much pain and its worth it
April & May months are very hot in Madurai.
When we go inside the temple, it would be very cool in summer
Om Ammane Potri🙏🙏🙏
It says 'secular' in our Indian constitution but government controls all the temples but not the Mosques or Churches.
We also want our temples free from government

Once India was full of such grand temples all over from North to South East to West. But 99 percent of it got destroyed or converted into mosques during Islamic conversion. South being on the other side of Deccan plateau and having a stronger empire managed to safeguard it's temples more
