This memorial to the immortal Tamil saint philosopher Thiruvalluvar is shaped like a temple chariot and is in fact the replica of the temple chariot in Thiruvarur. A life-size stature of the saint has been installed in the 39 meter tall chariot. The 133 chapters of his famous work Thirukkural have been depicted in basrelief in the front hall and corriodors of the chariot. The auditorium at Valluvarkottam is said to be the largest in Asia and it can accomodate about 4000 people. The latest additions in this complex are paintings depicting themes from Thirukkural.
