À propos
Faits rapides: Trois mille trois cents dalles de granit bordent la promenade environnante, chacune sculptée d'un verset du Thirukkural. Le char de pierre imposant du monument s'élève exactement à 133 pieds de haut, correspondant aux 133 chapitres de cet ancien texte tamoul.
Points forts: L'auditorium entier est conçu de sorte qu'aucun pilier n'obstrue la vue de la scène, grâce à un immense toit en coque de ferro-béton s'étendant sur 75 mètres. Chacun des 1 330 versets du Thirukkural est inscrit sur les piliers de granit qui ceinturent le monument, faisant de la promenade elle-même une expérience de lecture.
Conseils d'initiés
- 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.
