Thiruvalluvar Temple, Hindu temple in Mylapore, Chennai, India

The Thiruvalluvar Temple features traditional Dravidian architecture with stone carvings depicting scenes from Tamil literature and Hindu mythology throughout its structure.

The temple was built to honor Thiruvalluvar, a Tamil poet from the early Common Era who composed the Thirukkural, containing 1,330 couplets of moral teachings.

Devotees gather at the temple to recite verses from Thirukkural, participate in religious ceremonies, and celebrate Tamil literary heritage throughout the year.

The temple opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with special ceremonies conducted during morning hours, and public transportation provides direct access to the site.

A prominent statue of Thiruvalluvar stands within the temple complex, symbolizing the integration of literary excellence with religious devotion in Tamil culture.
