The enormous temple complex is dedicated to Shiva, known here as Sundareshvara and his consort Parvati or Meenakshi. The original temple was built by Kulasekara Pandya, but the entire credit for making the temple as splendid as it is today goes to the Nayaks. The Nayaks ruled Madurai from the 16th to the 18th century and left a majestic imprint of their rule in the Meenakshi - Sundareswarar Temple.

The temple complex is within a high-walled enclosure, at the core of which are the two sanctums for meenakshi and Sundareshwara, surrounded by a number of smaller shrines and grand pillared halls. Especially impressive are the 12 gopuras. Their soaring towers rise from solid granite bases, and are covered with stucco figures of dieties, mythical animals and monsters painted in vivid colours.

Perhaps if you just google'd it you'd find information. But no, I've done it for you.

Here it is:

Minakshi Temple
Madurai, Tamil Nadu


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minakshi temple in Madurai (plan) is another large temple compound, like Ranganatha in Srirangam. In this rooftop view, surrounding gopuras watch over the temple's inner shrine, which is capped by a golden dome.

Measuring 254m by 238m, the temple was founded in Pandya times but completely rebuilt by the Nayakas. Most of the present structures date from the 17th - 18th centuries

Hope it helps
