Meenakshi temple, Madurai

Cameras are no longer allowed inside, so below you see one of several towers, as photographed from outside the gate.

This temple was visited by my grandfather in 1930 — I’ve included copies of his photos in a second gallery, below mine.

Here are the photos my grandfather took in 1930. One taken from the roof, looking over the stepwell, the other in the elephant yard. (There is still one elephant kept in that location.)
