VALLUVAR KOTTAM

This memorial is dedicated to Tamil Tiruvalluvar, Saint and Poet, whose great work dates back to about 2 000 years. Built in 1976, in Nungambakkam, this huge stone structure, representing a tank fired by two elephants and located in a beautiful park, includes a very expressive statue of the saint. Scenes drawn from the 133 chapters of his famous book, Thirukkural, are carved in stone. The auditorium attached to this complex is one of the largest in Asia.
