Valluvar Kottam

Valluvar Kottam is a temple chariot like-monument built to honour the renowned classical Tamil poet and saint, Thiruvalluvar. This intricately designed monument was built by Kalaignar M.Karunanidhi during the 1970s to honour the contributions of Thiruvalluvar. A popular Tamil poet and philosopher, he has been attributed with the creation of  Thirukkurals which are hailed as one of the greatest works of Tamil literature. Valluvar Kottam is known for its great architecture, built with innovative layouts and well-thought execution.

The sublime beauty of Valluvar Kottam is best experienced during the morning hours when the city is just waking up to the day. Valluvar Kottam also plays host to some of the most important exhibitions and events in the city. Another interesting fact about the Valluvar Kottam is that you can also see a few saplings which were planted here by Mother Teresa herself, and are marked by a stone plate marking the year 1984.
