Madurai - Part 2

Madurai is a relatively clean Indian city. Here are some street views:

Our full-size tour bus somehow made it through this narrow street.
Women setting up for the day's sales of pulses and vegetables.

Thirmalai Nayak Palace

The main court in the palace. About 2/3 of the palace was dismantled and the materials used for a new palace for the builder's grandson. Much of what remains has been restored to its original splendor.
