Valluvar Kottam

Valluvar Kottam (Tamil: வள்ளுவர் கோட்டம்) is a monument in Chennai, dedicated to the classical Tamil poet philosopher Valluvar. It is the city's biggest Tamil cultural centre. Location Valluvar Kottam is located at the intersection of the Kodambakkam High road and the Village road in Nungambakkam neighbourhood of Chennai. The monument now stands at what was once the deepest point of a local lake called the Nungambakkam lake. History The construction of the Valluvar Kottam was conceived and executed by the then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu M. Karunanidhi during the 1970s. It was designed by South Indian traditional architect V. Ganapati Sthapati, who is also the architect of the Thiruvalluvar Statue at Kanyakumari. It was inaugurated in April 1976 by the then President of India Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed. The monument The monument consists of a decorative arch, an auditorium that can accommodate around 3,500 people, and the Kural Manimandapa, where all the 1,330 couplets from all 133 chapters of the Kural literature are inscribed on bas-relief. The hallmark of the monument is the 39-meter-high (128-foot) stone car, a replica of the famed temple chariot of Thiruvarur. The chariot is made of around 3000 blocks of granite stone from Tiruvannamalai and weighs 2,700 tonnes. The largest of these stones weigh as much as 40 tonnes. The four giant-sized wheels of the chariot measure 11 feet in diameter and 2 feet in thickness. A life-size statue of Valluvar has been installed in the chariot. The chariot is adorned with the famed Kalamkari drawings. The bottom portion of the chariot features bas relief sculptures depicting all the 133 chapters of the Kural text. The central auditorium measures 220 feet by 100 feet and is said to be Asia's largest at the time of its construction. The roof of the monument has a terraced garden with two large pools.

Observatoire Vainu Bappu

L'observatoire Vainu Bappu, ou observatoire de Kavalur, est un observatoire astronomique indien opéré par l'Institut indien d'astrophysique. Il est situé à Kavalur, dans les collines Javadi (en), près de Vaniyambadi (en), dans le District de Vellore du Tamil Nadu, à 200 km au sud-ouest de Chennai et à 175 km au sud-est de Bangalore. Il a été nommé en l'honneur de Vainu Bappu. Histoire Les origines de l'observatoire remontent à 1786, alors que William Petrie (en) installe son observatoire privé à sa résidence d'Egmore, Madras. Connu sous le nom d'observatoire de Madras, il sera déménagé plus tard à Kodaikanal, où il est connu sous le nom d'Observatoire solaire de Kodaikanal à partir de 1899. L'endroit n'offrant pas un climat propice à l'observation astronomique, on cherche un nouvel emplacement à l'observatoire après l'indépendance de l'Inde. L'astronome Vainu Bappu, directeur de l'observatoire de Kodaikanal en 1960, trouve l'emplacement actuel. Les observations commencent en 1968 à l'aide d'un télescope de 38 cm.
