Thiruvalluvar is a Renowned Poet of Tamil Nadu, India, who has written the Tamil
Poetical Epic of ‘Thirukkural’. He has written it in two-line couplets
highlighting various components of life. It comprises of 1330 couplets and 133
Chapters each containing 10 couplets.
It has Three Parts where First Part touches upon the subject of Virtue containing 38 Chapters while the Second Part centres around the Topic of Wealth with 70 Chapters and the Last Part hovers around the Theme of Love consisting of 25 Chapters thus making up 133 Chapters altogether.
He was a happy married man as he had a wife who had loved, respected and obeyed him in every age and stage of his life. Even then he led a divine holy life thereby he showed people that to lead a divine life there was no need to leave material family life.
It is believed that Thiruvalluvar was born 30 years before Jesus Christ.
Tamil Calendar starts from the era of Thiruvalluvar and it is referred to as Thiruvalluvar Year.
Located on a Rocky Islet offshore of Cape Comorin, Thiruvalluvar Statue is one of the Biggest Statues of Asia modeled on The Statue of Liberty of New York, U.S.A. It has been carved out from a number of rocks which have been joined together later on which has a height to equal the total number of chapters of Thirukkural, the Master-piece of Renowned Tamil Poet Thiruvalluvar.
