The 133-foot-tall Thiruvalluvar statue, located in Kanyakumari, stands as a significant symbol of Tamil Nadu's rich culture and heritage. This statue was inaugurated 25 years ago under the leadership of former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi in 1999, on the shores of the sea. The Thiruvalluvar statue has become a symbol for introducing Tamil culture and tradition to the world. It played a key role in strengthening the values and ideals of a leader like Thiruvalluvar, promoting cultural growth through government decisions.
To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Thiruvalluvar statue, the Tamil Nadu government has planned a three-day celebration with special events. These events aim to reflect on the statue's historical significance and the impact it has had on society over the years.
In this context, the government has issued orders to raise awareness about the event across districts. As part of this initiative, under the direct guidance of District Collector Shajeena, a giant balloon was released with the title 'Valluvar Paattuum Velli Vizha 25' at the District Collector's office in Theni.
The event saw participation from officials, including Public Relations Officer Nallathambi and Assistant Public Relations Officer Kathiravan, along with various department officials. This event was designed to easily communicate the importance of the Thiruvalluvar statue to the public while promoting artistic and cultural awareness.
Furthermore, this public event serves as a reaffirmation of the philosophy of Thiruvalluvar and highlights the traditional Tamil culture, strengthening its legacy for future generations.
