Answer:
Yes, I visited important historical places, Madurai, Rameswaram in Tamilnadu.

Like a lot of other trips, Madurai to Kanyakumari circuit had been on my mind for a long time. Since the whole trip was not working out I went for a short trip to Madhurai and Rameshwaram.

I went on road way. The road from Madurai is single lane but very good and does not have too much traffic like NH.7.

I stayed at a Hotel. It provide all facilities.

About Madurai:
I saw Meenakshi temple is what makes Madurai famous.

Temple is located at the middle of the city. I can enter the temple from all four directions, but east is the recommend direction to enter.

As I go inside by design I get into the queue for darshan. And came out only after I have had the darshan.

When I came after the Sundareswar darshan from the exit on the eastern side, i came across the Mandapam or hall with thousand pillars. The central hall has Nataraj Statue.

Next I went to Rameswaram Temple.

This temple is similar to the Madurai Meenakshi temple, may be a bit smaller. The unique feature of this temple is the 22 wells. The temple has many Shiva Lingas.

I returned after 3 days. I am so tired, but I am happy I did it.
