Om
Raske fakta: 3300 granittplater linjerer den omkringliggende gangveien, hver enkelt gravert med et vers fra Thirukkural. Monumentets tårnhøye steinvogn reiser seg nøyaktig 40,5 meter, og matcher de 133 kapitlene i denne eldgamle tamilske teksten.
Høydepunkter: Hele auditoriet er utformet slik at ingen søyler sperrer utsikten til scenen, oppnådd gjennom et massivt tak av armert betong som spenner over 75 meter. Hver eneste av Thirukkurals 1 330 vers er inngravert på granittsøylene som omkranser monumentet, noe som gjør gangveien i seg selv til en leseopplevelse.
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.
