Die Stadt ist Verwaltungssitz des Distrikts Madurai.
Madurai ist eine der ältesten Städte Südindiens und kann auf eine über zweitausendjährige Geschichte zurückblicken. Zwischen dem 3. Jahrhundert v. Chr. und dem 4. Jahrhundert n. Chr. war Madurai die Hauptstadt des Pandya-Reiches, eines ersten frühen Reiche Südindiens. Im 12. Jahrhundert erlebte des Pandya-Reich eine Renaissance, später war Madurai Hauptstadt des kurzlebigen Sultanats Madurai und der Nayaks von Madurai. Hauptsehenswürdigkeit Madurais ist der Minakshi-Tempel, dessen hoch aufragende Gopurams (Tortürme) weithin sichtbar das Stadtbild Madurais dominieren. Der im Wesentlichen während der Nayak-Zeit im 15. bis 17. Jahrhundert erbaute Tempel gehört zu den herausragendsten Beispielen der dravidischen Tempelarchitektur.

Madurai, Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu is a large South Indian state. It is inhabited by a people called Dravidians. We went to Madurai which has the famous Meenakshi Amman Temple.I did not enjoy the visit to Tamil Nadu so much. The state is a bit chaotic and not very clean. So the Meenakshi Temple did not allow us in either because we were wearing shorts. My boy friend did not come with us to the temple because he is not allowed in. They do not allow non-hindus to enter the temple. The highlight of the visit to Madurai was the Murugun Idlli Shop. Murugun Idli Shop is worth visiting because they have the softest and tastiest idly's ever!
