Thermutty at Madurai

Thermutty is located on Keelamasi Street, opposite the east gate of the Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple in Madurai. This is the place where the chariots of Meenakshi Amman and Sokkanathar are parked. The two chariots are intricately decorated with wooden carvings. During the Madurai Chithirai festival Thorottam, the Meenakshi Amman and Sundareswarar idols are seated in the two decorated chariots in the Thermutty Mandapam and they are circumambulate around the city of Madurai.
