Religion or Fancy-Fair ?

Alagar Kovil

Religion or Fancy-Fair ? ... that's what a Tamil man remarked me with an outmost contemptuous look.

Indeed you see here the core of the Nubura Gangai Temple from above, young and old, men and women, lined up after buying a ticket of 2Rps to have a refreshing shower to wash all their sins away. All is well organized by fences so that everyone has his turn to pass under this shower, religion becoming an attraction, who will tell ?
If you want to take 5L of the natural water source here you pay 10 Rps, one or two liter is for free.

Lots of Madurai people come here for the cool air under the trees in the mountain, a real pleasant place for a trip.
