The old name of Madurai is "Madurai Koodal," which reflects its historical significance as a cultural and religious center. It is often associated with the ancient Tamil literature and has been mentioned in various texts dating back to the Sangam period. Madurai is renowned for its temples, especially the Meenakshi Amman Temple, which plays a crucial role in the city's identity.
The city of Madurai may also be called "Koodal", "Naanmadakoodal" and "Thirualavai". Some people believe that the name "Madurai" is derived from the word "Madhura" (which means sweetness) because divine, sweet nectar is supposed to have been showered on the city by the Hindu god Shiva. Other people believe that "Madurai" is derived from the word "Marutham", which was a type of landscape description used in the Sangam age. See the related link below.
