🕉️ Temple Overview
The Meenakshi Amman Temple is one of the oldest and most sacred Shakti temples in India, dedicated to Goddess Meenakshi (Parvati) and Lord Sundareswarar (Shiva). Madurai is considered the heart of Tamil Saivism, and this temple is astrologically aligned with Chandra (Moon) energy. The temple complex spans 14 acres with 14 gateway towers (gopurams), making it one of the largest temple complexes in India.
📅 Panchangam & Astrological Importance
⚡ Why Panchangam Matters:
Devotees often choose Pournami (Full Moon) + Friday combinations based on Panchangam for marriage, fertility, and family harmony prayers. Temple rituals strictly follow Udaya Tithi Siddhantam (sunrise-based tithi calculation), sunrise-based Nakshatra determination, and Abhijit Muhurta for key processions.
