Madurai

It is narrated in legend that Madurai was originally a forest known as Kadambavanam. One day, a farmer named Dhananjaya who was passing through the forest, saw Indra (The king of the gods), worshipping a swayambhu (self created Lingam ) under kadamba tree. Dhananjaya, the farmer immediately reported this to King Kulasekara Pandya. Kulasekara Pandya cleared the forest and built a temple around the Lingam. A city was soon planned with the temple as its centre. On the day the city was to be named, Lord Shiva is said to have appeared and drops of nectar from his hair fell on the town. So, the place was named Madurai - mathuram meaning "sweetness" in Tamil.

Written By Unknown on Saturday, 20 July 2013 | 07:28



Malala Yousafzai is a teenage education and women’s rights activist who managed to live through a Taliban attack. We hear director Davis Huggenheim is all geared up to shoot a documentary based on her life.

This is one documentary that we would all look forward to because this director has shot quite a few impressive documentaries namely the Oscar award winning documentary titled An Inconvenient Truth and a documentary based on the American public education system titled Waiting for Superman
