Om
Hurtige fakta: Tre tusind tre hundrede granitplader står langs den omgivende gangsti, hver enkelt udhugget med et vers fra Thirukkural. Monumentets høje stenstridsvogn rager præcis 133 fod op i vejret, hvilket svarer til de 133 kapitler i denne gamle tamilske tekst.
Højdepunkter: Hele auditoriet er designet, så ingen søjler blokerer udsigten til scenen, opnået gennem et massivt jernbetontag i skalform, der spænder over 75 meter. Hver eneste af Thirukkurals 1.330 vers er indgraveret på de granitsøjler, der omkranser monumentet, hvilket gør selve gangstien til en læseoplevelse.
Insidertips
- Visit between December and February when Chennai's weather is at its most pleasant for walking the outdoor corridor.
- Stand at the center of the auditorium and clap once to test the remarkable acoustics of the pillar-free shell roof.
- The best photo angle is from the northeast corner of the garden, where the full chariot structure is framed against the sky.
- Skip the midday heat by arriving at opening time, the granite absorbs sun and gets uncomfortably hot by noon.
