It’s too bad that photography is not allowed. The pillars are perfectly aligned no matter which direction you look.Written 25 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hey Pretty!Bengaluru, India19 contributionsWe went to this temple as part of the Yo Madhurai Walk Tour. Its a uphill walk and we went in April with 2 kids aged 10 and 12! but was totally worth it. There is a legend about the fresh water spring here - Noopurgana. The devi darshan was very nice. Beware of monkeys... dont carry anything other than your basic sling bag or bag pack - the monekys are very fast to snatch anything else....:-). Worth the visit and the walk!Written 14 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- albatriqDubai, United Arab Emirates42 contributionsVaigai Dam is situated about 68 Kms from Madurai City. It is built across the river Vaigai. View from the top of the dam is awesome. Top of the dam can be reached by climbing about 100 steps. View from the top is worth climbing those steps.Written 4 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- ShaanuVR54 contributionsIt's a ok ok mall with a small food court. You can find some branded and non-branded showrooms inside the mall.
The mall staff are very friendly (security team, house keeping team).
It has a mother's room which is useful for lactating mothers (but it has only a cloth screen to close and they have kept a water dispenser near that cloth screen, so it feels less privacy. Better to change the water dispenser location to another place).
They have provisions for centralized AC, but still it doesn't provide proper temperature, so it is very hot inside the mall.
Food inside this mall is costly and some vendors are doing day light robbery. They (The scoopp shop) have one price in the menu card but they are charging more and they don't have proper answer if we question about the billing. As many are not questioning them, they are robbing in day light.Written 26 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Like Providence, Mr Johnson appeared. He was polite, respectful, well informed and turned out to be the ideal guide for us. If we had time we would have explored other locations with him at Madurai. Happy to give him a 5 star reviewWritten 1 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BillieBrighton_UKBrighton and Hove, UK382 contributionsThis was hands down the best food tour we've ever done. Our guide took us all over Madurai for the best places to sample idlis, dosas and so much more! The food was, without exception, absolutely delicious 😋 Highly recommended!Written 19 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
