Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Tres mil trescientas losas de granito bordean el pasillo circundante, cada una tallada con un verso del Thirukkural. El imponente carro de piedra del monumento se eleva exactamente 133 pies de alto, coincidiendo con los 133 capítulos de este antiguo texto tamil.
Destacados: Todo el auditorio está diseñado para que ningún pilar obstruya la vista del escenario, logrado mediante un enorme techo de caparazón de hormigón armado que abarca 75 metros. Cada uno de los 1,330 versos del Thirukkural está inscrito en los pilares de granito que rodean el monumento, convirtiendo el propio pasillo en una experiencia de lectura.
Consejos de expertos
- 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.
