Valluvar Kottam is a monument built to pay homage to Tamil Poet Saint Thiruvalluvar. The site where it is situated once housed an unused lake. The monument is in the shape of a temple chariot and contains a lively and splendid statue of the poet. The temple chariot is a replica of the one at Thiruvar. Thiruvalluvar's significant contribution to Tamil literature is in the form of Thirukkural.
As a tribute, 133 verses from the same literary work have been inscribed at the base of the chariot.
In order to achieve this task, 3000 blocks of stones were required at time of the construction. Valluvar Kottam is the only one of its kind monument in Tamil Nadu. Apart from this, there is an auditorium that can accommodate upto 4000 people at a time. The most fascinating feature is that all the verses from the epic Thirukkural are inscribed on the granite pillars, surrounding the auditorium. Moreover, another amazing attribute of the auditorium is that it is not supported by a single pillar and stands without any support.
The Valluvar Kottam, on the corner of Kodambakkam High Road and Village Road, Chennai, is a standing memorial to immortal Tamil Poet-Saint Thiruvalluvar. It is a massive auditorium, constructed on reclaimed land from an unused lake filled with the city's garbage and debris. It was opened in the year 1976 and the auditorium is said to be the largest in Asia and can accommodate about 4000 people.
All 1330 verses of the poet's epic - the Thirukkural, are inscribed on the granite pillars that surround the auditorium and it has got no pillars for support. There is a 101-feet high temple chariot structure with a life-size image of the poet in it. This chariot is a replica of the temple car of Thiruvarur in Tamil Nadu. The base of the chariot shows in bas-relief the 133 chapters of the Thirukkural. Over 3,000 blocks of stone were used to create this memorial to Tamil culture.
