Description: Madurai known as the 'Athens of the East' is the oldest city in Tamil Nadu and was home to the ancient Tamil Sangam, the literary conclave that produced the first epic, Silappathikaram. Today, it is known to produce the best harvests of Jasmine flowers. The main attraction, “Madurai Meenakshi” Temple, is well known for its architectural splendor, as also a shelter, which inspired a thousand arts.
Rameswaram is known for India's most venerated and visited “Jyothirling” - Shiva shrines, dedicated to Sri Ramanathaswamy. It is so intimately associated with the life of Sri Rama, the hero of the epic Ramayana, that both Saivites and Vaishnavites consider every grain of Rameswaram’s sand very sacred. There is a traditional belief among the Hindus that a pilgrimage to Kashi will be complete only after a visit to Rameswararn, also hailed as "Benaras of the South".
