The sanctum of Lord Siva is at the centre of the structure. This suggests that the importance of Goddess Meenakshi was developed later. The most important festival associated with the temple is the Meenakshi Thirukalyanam (The divine marriage of Meenkashi to Lord Sundareshwar) that is celebrated in April every year.
