Sri Meenakshi temple of Madurai
Not necessarily need to retain the name, Sri Meenakshi is one of the names of the wife of Shiva represented in the form of fish and therefore supposed to see everything and know everything.
Madurai is the abode of Shiva and his wife, two of the most powerful gods, creator / destroyer of the Hindu pantheon. The main parts of the temple were built in the thirteenth century, but with an activity, devotion and continuous maintenance, the temple is still very well preserved and sometimes in its original state.
A "puja" is the Indian word meaning a prayer or an offering to the gods. It may be coconut we must break before the gods in gratitude, banana symbol of abundance and fertility, flowers, incense or candles. At the entrance of the temples are arranged trays of colored pigments, as pilgrims deposited on their foreheads before or after having completed their puja. The red represents life and birth, the white ash and dust that we all will return after death. It is the symbol of the life cycle.
Theoretically, the faithful must begin by purifying the water tanks located in the center of the temples (look there is always a pool somewhere!). This should give him time to reflect and prepare for its next encounter with the gods.
