We took an auto taxi($1) 1 km east from our Hotel Royal Court. Arriving at the quiet shaded West Tower just after 9 AM, we had little competition in storing our mobile phone, day bag with camera, and finally our shoes, receiving a receipt for each item. Next we proceeded through entry security, by gender, and then freely entered the West Tower tunnel into the 14 acre complex. Deciding to circumambulate clockwise, our first stop was the museum. After paying the foreigner fee, we entered the forest of carved pillars, viewing the many ancient preserved sculptures. Then we came to the wide center hall, focused on its lighted shrine with 2 long rows of huge sculpted pillars and brightly painted ceiling, a magnificent visual display, unmarred by the many butter lamps and confusion of the numerous pilgrims at similar sights inside the inner temple. Strolling that inner temple/shrine complex was enlightening, being blessed by the resident elephant,Parvati, and seeing her and a white bull, Nandi, march in procession accompanied by a band and large palanquin bearing a statue and carried by 20 strong men. After passing the tank with its golden lotus, and the super long queue for the free Darshan, we exited over hot stones to recollect our possessions at the still cool West Gate. Walking toward our next sight, we passed a growing line of pilgrims crowding the hot sunny South Gate.

We need to go Pazhamudhir Solai muruga temple from agagar malai temple. So, you always go to alagar temple, then go from here. Here are the different ways to go here. You come to alagar malai with your own vehicle, then you can park the vehicle here and do trekking for some distance (around 2 or 3 k.m). We come with our own vehicle then park the vehicle here and walked, it is very nice experience as you are walking through the mountain. If you are not able to walk, then you go by your vehicle and park the vehicle near to the temple. There are public transport (government) also available, they are charging Rs.10 for one route. If you go Madurai, do not miss to visit this temple. As usual in all temples, people with pooja items and flowers trying sell saying so many things to sell them, it is up to you how you want to do. But do not believe their words. If you want to do it, do it.
