Embracing Periyar’s Vision: The Heart of Our Mission
Periyar World is an expansive and immersive tribute to the life and ideals of E.V. Ramasamy Periyar, a pioneering social reformer and champion of rationalism, equality, and social justice. Spanning 27 acres in Siruganur, just 25 kilometers from Trichy along the Chennai-Trichy National Highway, Periyar World serves as a dynamic center for learning, inspiration, and activism.
At its heart stands an imposing 95-foot statue on a 60-foot base, rising to a total height of 155 feet from ground level. This monumental structure is not just an architectural marvel but a powerful symbol of Periyar’s legacy—an enduring reminder of his fight for a more just and equitable society.
Periyar World offers a rich variety of engaging experiences, including a state-of-the-art library, a museum showcasing Periyar’s life and work, and an amphitheater for cultural performances and community events.
The art gallery displays contemporary works inspired by Periyar’s teachings, while the Justice Park and engraved donors wall honor those who continue to support the cause. Visitors can also enjoy the tranquil fountain pathway and thoughtfully designed walking pathways, providing spaces for reflection and exploration.
