History & Temple Legend
The Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai is one of the most celebrated temples of South India and a UNESCO-recognized cultural treasure. According to legend, Goddess Meenakshi was born with three breasts, a sign that she was destined to marry Lord Shiva.

Their marriage, celebrated as the divine wedding of Meenakshi and Sundareswarar, is re-enacted every year in Madurai with grandeur. This legend is immortalized in dassara dolls as golu bommai sets depicting their wedding, with Meenakshi Amman at the heart of devotion.
