with an auditorium to accommodate up to 4000
spectators. The temple car structure is carved in
granite with intricate details using the Dravidian
Architectural style. Each chapter of Thirukkural is
chiseled in a bas-relief. The auditorium is said to
be the largest of its kind in Asia. Entrance Fee : Adult Rs. 2/-, Children Rs. 1/-
