The best time to visit Madurai flower market is in the early morning if you want to see different kinds of flowers in Madurai. The eye-catching scenes of colorful flowers, buzzing atmosphere and busy movements of vendors, along with the sweet and seductive scent of various blossoms made the market itself a great hive of activity to welcome a new day in Madurai.
A quintessential local experience, the trading in the banana market starts bright and early in the day, with 16 varieties of banana being sold here. The bananas are brought in massive quantities and it is truly a sight to behold! While you’re there, don’t forget to taste the different varieties and experience something new!
Arulmigu Subramaniya Swamy Temple , dedicated to the Hindu god Murugan that is known as a handsome son of the Lord Shiva.
