Snabba fakta: Trettiotrehundra granitplattor kantar den omgivande gångvägen, var och en ristad med en vers ur Thirukkural. Monumentets tornande stenstridsvagn reser sig exakt 133 fot hög, vilket motsvarar de 133 kapitlen i denna gamla tamilska text.
Höjdpunkter: Hela auditoriet är utformat så att inga pelare skymmer sikten mot scenen, uppnått genom ett massivt ferrobetongskaltak som spänner över 75 meter. Varje enskild vers av de 1 330 i Thirukkural är inristad på granitpelarna som omger monumentet, vilket gör gångvägen i sig till en läsupplevelse.
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.
