Vaigai Dam, one among the many Madurai tourist attractions, is known for its impeccable scenic beauty with a colossal and spellbinding structure. Situated close to the famous Meenakshi Temple is Thirumalai Nayak Mahal, which is considered a wonder in Tamil Nadu and the rest of South India. It now has a garden circumscribed by the courtyard with a sound and light show held daily in the evening, making it one of the entertainment places in Madurai. Vandiyur Mariamman Temple, dedicated to Mariamman, The Hindu Goddess of rain, has its own pond which creates an elegant atmosphere.
