We went to Madurai for my friends marriage.. one of the oldest cities in tamilnadu with rich historic background..
One of the highlights being the meenashaki Amman koil..
Though you for find lots of data on reaching the place.. I would repeat it again...
Way: Chennai to Madurai would best good route... train or bus would be good.. Travels such as maduraitravels runs a professional service as I travelled by one..
Have a good journey
