Summary:
The pamphlet titled “Back 2500 years in a few hours – Madurai through the ages” traces half-a-dozen best lesser known places of importance in the city. One of the best things about this travel is that it guides you to the most important monument of that period and helps to redefine the travel experience with a brush of history. The booklet refers to interesting stories about the birth of the tank to entice travellers to visit the place. By starting from Vilakkuthoon and finishing at Kidaripatti with a small detour to Varrichiyur, the pamphlet helps to understand the city’s splendid past. It is also believed that Pandavas stayed on one side of the Arittapatti hill which also has a beautiful 8th century siva cave temple..
