A deeply revered philosopher-poet of Tamil literature, Thiruvalluvar is best known for his authorship of the Thirukkural. It is a series of couplets on the wide-ranging human experience of ethics, love, and society. The murti of Thirukkural that you see on this page captures the poet’s form as it prevails in the popular imagination.
Thiruvalluvar is seated with his legs gathered afore Him. A simple garment made of one long, unstitched fabric is wound around the waist and brought over the left shoulder. The unstitched fabric is of particular importance, given that for centuries it has been donned by holy men and women. There is a rudimentary pen in his right hand and a pothi (manuscript) of the Thirukkural in his left.
Thiruvalluvar Panchaloham statue looks into the distance with a brilliantly shining gaze. The hair is gathered in a tall, neatly wound pile on top of the head. A full beard and moustache add to the ethos of wisdom and compassion that surrounds him. Thiruvalluvar is seated on a traditional Indian pirhi.
