madurai revealed itself in layers..
theres much more to the city than the iconic meenakshi temple itself
the city owes its exisistence to the temple as it grew as a temple city with layers of walls with taller gopurams and the fort wall enclosing the "temple" and a royal palace.
the newer parts of the city seem to be having a direction and an imagination for itself.
the city as a whole is not chaotic.
the newer strcuctures like the chettinad cement building ( last image) are damn nice ! discovered by ari n i on a late night walk, the building is quite cool, it says that it is a cement building, has a presence on the junction, it is much more than a monument.
PART - 2
.... madurai
