On a cruise around India, we stopped at Tuticorin and took a day trip to Madurai to see the remarkable 17th-century Meenakshi Sundaram Temple. It was well worth the trip (more than three hours each way). The temple, dedicated to Shiva, is adorned with thousands of gaily colored sculptures of gods, goddesses and mythical beasts. Most impressive! — BETTY SILANDER, Ludington, MI
