話題沸騰中の Britannica Meenakshi Temple Madurai Dedicated to Meenakshi Sundareshvaraについて、詳しいまとめを分かりやすく掲載しています。

Madurai's Meenakshi Temple and How to Visit It

Also, there’s a special drum that’s beaten during festivals that makes a sound like a thunderclap. The locals say it chases away evil spirits. I say it also chases away hangovers, but don’t quote me on that.

You don’t have to be a history buff to love this place. It’s a sensory overload in the best way: the smell of jasmine, the taste of spicy pongal (a rice dish) sold outside, the sound of bells. It’s like being inside a living, breathing rainbow.

Plus, the locals are incredibly friendly. A grandma might just hand you a free flower for your hair. I’m not saying you’ll get adopted, but don’t be surprised if someone offers you a second dinner. Indian hospitality is legendary—and delicious.
