About Valluvar Kottam
A temple chariot that stays parked: that is the shape of Valluvar Kottam, the memorial to the poet Thiruvalluvar. The monument echoes temple chariots and brings Tamil literature down to a scale you can walk through, with verses from the Tirukkural along the corridors.
Take in the whole structure before moving closer to the details of the stone. Without a translation or some prior reading, part of the meaning slips by. Check which areas are open and plan the start of the day for your walk, when the sun is gentler, before heading to Besant Nagar.
