लोग
| नाम | वर्ष | क्षेत्र | किसलिए मशहूर |
|---|---|---|---|
| Andal | Eighth or ninth century | Poet and saint | The only woman among the twelve Alvars, from Srivilliputhur; composed the Thiruppavai and the Nachiyar Thirumozhi. The Thiruppavai is recited every morning of Margazhi across the Tamil and Telugu Vaishnava world, which makes her the most widely performed poet this region produced. |
| Nakkeerar | Sangam period, dates uncertain | Poet | Associated in tradition with the Madurai academy and with the argument that a poet may contradict a god on a point of grammar. Author of the Thirumurugatruppadai, the guide-poem to Murugan's six shrines. |
| Thirumalai Nayak | Reigned 1623–1659 | Ruler and builder | Rebuilt much of the Meenakshi temple complex, built his own palace and the Vandiyur tank, and is credited with merging the city's Shaiva and Vaishnava festivals into the single Chithirai cycle. Most of what a visitor sees in Madurai is his. |
| M. S. Subbulakshmi | 1916–2004 | Singer | Born in Madurai to a family of hereditary musicians and trained in the city; became the defining Carnatic voice of the twentieth century, sang at the United Nations in 1966, and gave away the proceeds of most of her concerts. |
| Madurai Mani Iyer | 1912–1968 | Singer | Built a concert style around rhythmic drive and clean, unornamented lines, and put Tamil compositions on platforms that had preferred Telugu and Sanskrit. The style is still identifiable by name. |
| Ilaiyaraaja | Born 1943 | Composer | From Pannaipuram in the Theni hills; scored well over a thousand films and put the region's folk metres, urumi and naiyandi patterns into mainstream Indian film music, with Western counterpoint sitting on top of them. |
| A. Vaidyanatha Iyer | 1890–1955 | Social reformer | Led the Meenakshi temple entry of 8 July 1939, walking into the temple with Dalit companions and forcing the question of temple access into the open in this city before it was settled anywhere in the south. |
| K. Kamaraj | 1903–1975 | Administrator | Born in Virudhunagar; as chief minister expanded rural schooling on a very large scale and introduced the school midday meal that later became a national programme. He had four years of formal education himself. |
| Annamalai Reddiar | 1865–1891 | Poet | Gave the kavadi chindu its literary form — verses in a swinging metre matched to a pilgrim's step, still sung on the road to Palani. |
| Madurai Somu | 1919–1989 | Singer | A concert singer who kept one foot in Tamil devotional and folk repertoire and drew audiences that the strict kutcheri circuit did not. |
| Vere Henry Levinge | 1810–1885 | Engineer and administrator | Retired collector who dammed a stream on the Palani plateau in 1863 to make the Kodaikanal lake, and stocked it with fish. The town's entire tourist geography is arranged around a body of water he built. |
| Ki. Rajanarayanan | 1923–2021 | Writer | The founder figure of karisal ilakkiyam, the black-soil fiction of the southern dryland, who wrote in the spoken dialect of his own villages and compiled a dictionary of it. |
