The guardian of Kanniyakumari’s shores

Standing tall along the coastline of Kanniyakumari, Tamil Nadu, a towering monument entices you to come and marvel at its grandeur. A towering symbol of Tamil heritage and literary excellence that commands attention even from afar.

Behold the Thiruvalluvar Statue, a impressive sight against the backdrop of the deep blue sky and the sparkling sea. It pays homage to Thiruvalluvar, the revered Tamil poet and scholar recognised for his masterpiece, the 'Tirukkural.' Since the statue is about 400 metres away from the mainland, you can reach it via ferry services.
