We caught the overnight train from Chengalpattu to Madurai arriving at 06:30 in the morning. February seems to be the season for Indian weddings so we had a difficulty finding a reasonably priced hotel we ended up checking in to the Royal Court for one night then switching to the Hotel Supreme for the next two nights.
Madurai is another busy Indian city and famous for the Meenakshi temple - a massive complex which seems to blur the interface between worship and shopping and the Gandhi museum which was an unexpected pleasure.
After breakfast and a couple of hours rest we took an auto rickshaw ride around the city taking in the main sites. The following day we spent a couple of hours at the Gandhi museum them had a bit of relaxation on a pedelo around the Teppakulam temple water tank, this was supposed to be closed so we were the only ones put and also fortunate that the tank was full, they only fill it for special festivals.
