Sri Meenakshi Temple, Madurai

A very impressive temple, huge and interesting. Very busy with pilgrims, but still has a peaceful vibe to it. I liked it a lot.

Some of my photos are now available to buy in a variety of sizes and finishes, or as digital files, at SerenityPhotography.co.uk. Search through my entire library of stock images here, including all my stock images of India.
