| | | | Churches, Temples & Mosques: Hindu Valluvar Kottam (Art Gallery) | Tip Rating: | | | | |
Down the Batu Cave there is a big hindu art gallery in down caves. Valluvar was a poet saint who lived some two thousand years ago. He was bom in Mayilaapur in Tamilnadu State, India. Valluvar was a pious man with a strict sense of duty. He served the King, his family and society faithfully and honestly. He had a keen intellect and a fluent mastery of the Tamil language. Although he was a Householder, he was a sagely and learned person filled with sincere devotion to God. His poems are maxims and homilies to guide his fellow human beings in the proper conduct of their lives. The poems, 1,330 pithy couplets, are filled with sagely wisdom meaningfully consistent with all times. Overseas Tamil Indians have designated the Tirukkural as their "holy scripture" equivalent to holy books of other religions. The cave walls of the Valluvar Kottam are covered with statuary exhibits, murals and inscriptions of the poet's couplets. Unfortunately, the inscriptions are in Tamil without any translations or explanations to help the non-Tamil speaking visitor. The exhibits are used to illustrate relevant couplets from the Tirukkural, his entire works. Valluvar Kottam is so lit that the atmosphere of a silent cave is well preserved.
