Tirunelveli Anna Statue

Tirunelveli, much like other towns in Tamil Nadu, boasts numerous statues. However, one statue in particular has emerged as a prominent landmark—the statue of Anna Durai. Positioned in front of the Municipality (now Corporation) office, this statue portrays the former Chief Minister engrossed in reading a book. Three lotus-like designs adorn the space in front of him, while a captivating arch stands further ahead.

In the past, there used to be a pathway that extended up to the middle of the road. Unfortunately, this configuration resulted in several road accidents. During my time as a student at the neighboring Schaffter School, I personally witnessed a few instances where school children were struck by heavy vehicles while crossing this area. Consequently, the pathway has since been removed.

Happy travelling.
