Planning a tour across the cultural and spiritual heartlands of Tamil Nadu?

Overview of Madurai Rameshwaram Kanyakumari Tour Package

Madurai is among the cities in the country which, through history, have been inhabited. The celebrated Meenakshi Temple is the city's most significant religious structure. It is the Hindu goddess Parvati. It is spread across 14 acres of land and has 14 towers. A 10-day festival called Meenakshi Tirukalyanam is celebrated every year and still draws thousands of the faithful.

Rameshwaram is a bustling pilgrimage town in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Lord Rama visited this place on his way to Lanka while searching for his wife Sita, whom the demon king Ravana had kidnapped. The site houses the celebrated Ramanathaswamy Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva. According to Hindu philosophy, pilgrims gather at this temple and take a holy dip in the ocean to absolve themselves of sins. Lord Rama himself established the second of the twelve Jyotirlingas in this temple.

Kanyakumari or Devi Kanya Kumari, is one of the most popular Hindu deities. She’s considered to be the personification of Shakti, that universal divine feminine power. If one were to follow the word of some devotees, she’s a goddess – a strong deity that can assist you in breaking barriers and bestowing favours upon you. Kanyakumari Temple, located at the southernmost tip of India, where three seas meet, attracts several million pilgrims from all parts of the country every year.
