Happy Krisnhashtami Wishes to all!!
Here's a post on Lord Krishna's temple as today it is Lord Krishna's birthday, celebrated all over India with so much fervour and gaiety.
This temple is about 800 years old. The main deity is of Lord Krishna, playing the flute known as Madana Gopalaswamy flanked by His consorts Rukmani and Sathyabhama. The idol is of bewitching beauty and the idol is about 5 feet tall . This temple is not known to many tourists and is more frequented by local people. Make a visit to this temple whenever you get an opportunity to visit Madurai as the Krishna here will definitely steal your heart.:)
There are sub shrines here for Anjaneya, Lakshmi Narsimha, Nag devas , Gajalakshmi and Saraswathi too.
This temple is in West Masi street and is very close to Madurai Meenakshi Amman temple .
