Thiruvalluvar Statue, Stone monument in Kanyakumari, India.
The Thiruvalluvar Statue stands 41 meters tall on a small island where the Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea, and Indian Ocean meet at India's southern tip.
The stone sculpture was inaugurated on January 1, 2000, after a decade of construction that began with Prime Minister Morarji Desai laying the foundation stone.
The statue's height of 133 feet corresponds to the 133 chapters of Thirukkural, while its three raised fingers represent virtue, wealth, and love themes.
Visitors can reach the statue through ferry services that operate from the mainland, covering a distance of approximately 400 meters across the water.
The 7,000-tonne granite structure remained undamaged during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, demonstrating its exceptional engineering and structural integrity.
