Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Três mil e trezentas lajes de granito revestem a calçada ao redor, cada uma esculpida com um verso do Thirukkural. A imponente carruagem de pedra do monumento se eleva exatamente a 133 pés de altura, correspondendo aos 133 capítulos deste antigo texto tâmil.
Destaques: Todo o auditório é projetado de modo que nenhum pilar obstrua a visão do palco, alcançado através de um imenso telhado de concha de concreto armado com 75 metros de vão. Cada um dos 1.330 versos do Thirukkural está inscrito nos pilares de granito que circundam o monumento, transformando a própria calçada em uma experiência de leitura.
Dicas de quem conhece
- 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.
