Thirukkural

The picture to the left is of a monument in Chennai, India. It was built in 1970 and is dedicated to Thiruvalluvar, the author of this classical Tamil poem collection named Thirukkural.

Thirukkural was written few thousand years ago on Palm Tree Leaves using metal stylus (knife pen) by the author known as Thiruvalluvar, aka., Poyyamozhi Pulavar and Theivappulavar
