municipal corporation to construct a new mofussil
bus terminus that would complement the exisitng
Palanganatham and Anna bus stations. After
completion of the Madurai Ring road project, the
Mattuthavani Integrated Bus Terminus (MIBT) was
constructed at a cost of ₹10 crore , spread over
an area of 18 acres(7.3 ha).
Madurai is an energetic, ancient city on the
Vaigai River of Tamil Nadu. Its skyline is
dominated by the 14 colorful gopurams of
Meenakshi Amman Temple. Covered in
bright carvings of Hindu gods, the Dravidian-

attend the processions and ceremonies of
April's Chithirai Festival celebrating
Meenakshi and Lord Vishnu.
