A temple complex with gopuram towers carved floor to ceiling in thousands of painted deities, a flower and spice market that runs from before dawn, and a jasmine harvest the whole region's evening air seems to be perfumed by.
The best time to visit Madurai is Oct–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 37°C (99°F).
