History
The town of Madurai is old and one referenced in Sangam period texts. These are dated to be from the first to fourth century CE. A few early Tamil texts call Madurai as Koodal, and these depict it as a capital and a sanctuary town where each road emanated from the sanctuary. Goddess Meenakshi is portrayed as the heavenly ruler, who alongside Shiva were the essential gods that the southern Tamil realms, for example, the Pandya line respected. The early texts infer that a sanctuary existed in Madurai by the mid sixth century. In archaic writing and engravings, it is once in a while alluded to as Kadambavanam (lit. "woods of Kadamba") or Velliambalam (lit. "silver lobby" where Shiva moved). It was depicted to be the sangam of researchers, or where researchers meet.

A few connect to it divinities they call Alavai Iraivan and Alavai Annal, or on the other hand Angayar Kanni Ammai. A few connection its legend to different divinities, for example, Indra who announces the supremacy of the goddess, while some portray Hindu divine beings showing up before antiquated rulers or holy people encouraging well off traders to assemble this sanctuary in the distinction of a goddess. One legend depicts a childless lord and sovereign performing yajna for a child, they get a girl who acquires the realm, vanquishes the earth, meets Shiva at last, weds him, keeps on administering from Madurai, and the sanctuary memorializes those occasions. Rather than such conflicting ahistorical legends, researchers have endeavored to decide the historical backdrop of the sanctuary from engravings found in and outside Madurai, just as contrasting the records relating with South Indian administrations.
