About Meenakshi Thirukalyanam

Meenakshi Thirukalyanam is the celestial wedding of Goddess Meenakshi and Lord Sundareswarar (Shiva), celebrated at the Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai on the tenth day of the Chithirai festival, in April or May.

Temple tradition tells of Meenakshi as the warrior queen of Madurai who meets Shiva and marries him there, with Lord Vishnu, as her brother, giving her away. The festival before the wedding includes her coronation (pattabhishekam) and her victory tour (dig vijayam).

On the wedding morning the temple is full of flowers, music and devotees. Married women often change the thread of their thali on this day, praying for long and happy married lives. Free wedding feasts are served to devotees, and the next day the temple chariots are pulled through the streets.
