The city of Madurai, with a population of 922,913 according to the 2001 census, is the administrative capital of Madurai district.
Madurai was the capital city of the Pandya kings of South India. Madurai's cultural heritage goes back 2500 years, and the city has been an important commercial center since as early as 550 C.E.
In legend, the original town of Madurai was destroyed by a tsunami in ancient Lemuria (continent). The new city was home to the last Tamil Sangam in the early part of last Century. The great national poet Subramanya Bharathi worked as a Tamil language pandit / teacher in Sethupathy High School during the early 20th Century . There is a village town in the neighbouring district of Dindigul called Vada Madurai, and another in the neighbouring district of Sivagangai called Mana Madurai.

    Madurai is one of the ancient places that has historic values. Tamil has deep origins from this place. Many Tamil scholars and pandits were born here; lived here. The Meenakshi Amman temple is one of the wonders of the ancient world (like those temples in Thanjavur, Kanchi, etc).
