It's next to the Rock Memorial. It's probably still under construction and yet not open for the visitors. It is huge and dwarfs the rock memorial. Thiruvalluvar was a famous poet.

Will be able to appreciate better once the renovation is complete. However, it certainly lends a charm to the beautiful ocean.

Another engineering marvel. I can just imagine all of the boats bringing this out and placing it on the rock.

The Thiruvalluvar Statue is beautifully located among the three seas. It is made near the Vivekananda Rock Memorial. It is a very tall statue, of 133 feet. It is present between the oceans and you will have to take a ferry to reach here. The sunrise and sunset scene looks spectacular. When the Indian Ocean Tsunami occurred in 2004, the... More

This is a huge statue of poet Thiruvalluar, made near to Vivekananda rock memorial. The nice serene is enjoyable when you are there. Lot of people coming here just for a visit and as a prestige 1 to add in the trip. This statue is visible from the Kanyakumari Beach. Stands tall at 133 feet. This is an important landmark... More

This is a huge statue of poet Thiruvalluar, made near to Vivekananda rock memorial. Located a few meters away from the main land and have to go by a ferry. Presently, the entry for visitors is restricted due to the renovation works

There is no ferry to Thiruvalluvar Statue. There was no lighting Service during the night too, when we visited. The statue depicts female side of Thiruvalluvar, with the curvy body style. Can be viewed from the hotels at the beach and Vivekananda Rock.

This statue is visible from the Kanyakumari Beach. Stands tall at 133 feet very next to the Vivekananda memorial. However, boats are not taking visitors there nowadays. The sunrise view is simply amazing. This is an important landmark in India where the 3 seas/oceans meet -> Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean.

The day we arrived we were told the ferry couldn't stop at the statue because the waves were too dangerous however speaking with a local they told us it hadn't been opened for months. You'll find a lot of excuses in India despite this place being a "holy" site. If you're not an Indian then you've probably seen other statues... More
