Visit the Lively Madurai Flower Market
Apart from the ancient beauty of many temples in the city of Madurai, the Madurai flower market, located between Central Market and the Maatuthavani Bus stand, is likely to be a vivid picture of the local life that shouldn't be missed when travelling here. It is one of the biggest markets in all of India and provides exports of many different species of flora. The jasmine of Madurai is famous for its unique fragrance that is not found anywhere else. In Madurai, the jasmine flower is known as the Madurai malli, hence it is no wonder that this delicate and small white flower is the most popular although other varieties of flowers are also available in the flower market of Madurai. From this place, flowers especially jasmines are traded to other parts of India as well as internationally to many foreign countries. The best time to visit Madurai flower market is in the early morning if you want to see different kinds of flowers in Madurai. The eye-catching scenes of colorful flowers, buzzing atmosphere and busy movements of vendors, along with the sweet and seductive scent of various blossoms made the market itself a great hive of activity to welcome a new day in Madurai.
