Vandiyur Mariamman Theppakulam - Madurai

This man made tank with a beautiful mandapam in the middle was built in 1645 by King Thirumalai Nayakkan. It is believed that the soil excavated from this site was used to build the Thirumalai Nayakkan Palace. During the rainy season it brims with water but for most of the year it is dry. It is famous for the Float Festival in the Tamil month of Thai (Jan/ Feb).
