Today is going to be jam packed with temples I hope I am up for it. Shree Meenaksh Temple in Madurai is covered with profusions of multicoloured images of gods, goddesse,m animals and mythical figures. Now there is always one person that forgets to wear long trousers and this time it was Lex. So here is a photo of Lex wearing a purple skirt to ensure that his knees are covered. Lex will tell you that it’s called a Lungi Bah!!! It’s a skirt. Good Luck explaining this one to your friends. From here we make our way to Trichy.
Trichy is famous for its Rock Fort. Its name means “city of the sacred rock” so here we climb 434 steps to the temple of Ganesh at the top, here we are rewarded with magnificent views of the town and surroundings. Off to view the spectacular temple complex of Sri Ranganathaswamy, set on the island of Srivangam and covering an area of 2½ sq kms, making it the largest complex in India. It consists of 21 gopurams – huge ornately decorated and carved towers – along with a number of shrines and temples.
