Got up early this morning and walked down the street to finally check out Sri Meenakshi Temple, the most sacred place to visit in south India for Hindus. The famous gates were spectacular, massive and covered with hundreds upon hundreds of statues of various Hindu deities. Inside the labyrinthine complex itself, I was reminded of Angkor Wat, only here, the temple is still very much alive, a site of worship used continuously for nearly half a millenium.
