Vandiyur Mariamman Temple, Hindu temple with central pond in Madurai, India
The Vandiyur Mariamman Temple features a grand water tank measuring 305 meters in length and 290 meters in width, with granite steps on all sides.
During excavation works for Thirumalai Nayakkar Palace in 1645, workers discovered a seven-foot Vinayakar idol, leading to the creation of this temple complex.
The temple organizes the Float Festival in January or February, when deities float across the illuminated pond during the full moon night.
Visitors can reach the temple complex through local buses, auto rickshaws, or taxis from central Madurai, located 5 kilometers from Meenakshi Temple.
Underground channels connect the temple tank to the Vaigai River, maintaining water levels in this largest temple pond of Tamil Nadu.
