 Fifth International Tamil Conference 1981
The Tamil conference, itself a grand cultural performance, was as true to this tradition as the profusely sculpted towers of Madurai's great temple, home of Siva and his fish-eyed consort, Minaksi (The goddess's eyes are said to resemble the shape of a small fish.).
The patrons who stood behind the architects of the Minaksi-Cuntaresvarar (Cuntaresvarar, 'the beautiful lord', is the name of Siva's manifestation at Madurai.) temple were the Nayak rulers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
The Minaksi temple, perhaps the most influential cultural institution in the city, also sponsored a number of special activities in honor of the conference.

Minakshi, rather than her consort, is regarded as the preeminent deity, and the Temple is usually known simply as "Minaksi koyil," the Minakshi Temple.
The Minakshi Temple is one of the largest in India, and its most famous architectural features are the twelve towers (gopura) over its gateways; the four highest, each about 150 feet tall, straddle its outer gateways and dominate the city's skyline.
