Found at the southern generally tip of the Indian Peninsula where the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal meet, is Kanyakumari, the spot renowned worldwide for its astounding dawns and dusks. Here out in the ocean, in the ballpark of 400m from the shore, on the minor rock connecting the Vivekananda rock dedication untruths a Statue of Saint Thiruvalluvar, the creator who gave us quintessential useful tidbits through his philosophical work 'thirukkural', a treatise in Tamil on the Indian lifestyle. The statue, standing betwixt the moving blue waves, makes an enduring impression as it ascents high over the rock.

The establishment stone for the statue was laid in 1979 by the previous Prime Minister, Morarji Desai. In any case the establishment was finalised and the genuine work of chiseling the statue started just in 1990 when Chief Minister Mr. Karunanidhi designated supports for its erection in the 1990-91 plan. Five hundred stone carvers were locked in for this work under the capable direction of Dr. Ganapathi Sthapati and the work was finished in 1999. The statue was initiated on first January 2000 by Dr. M.karunanidhi, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. The rocks for the figure originated from Sirudhamoor, Pattumalikuppam and Ambhasamudram Hills.
