QUICK WORK:Parithi Ellamvazhudhi, Information Minister, being shown the blueprint for the proposed Thamizhisai Moovar Manimandapam at Sirkazhi on Wednesday. SIRKAZHI: The work on the proposed manimandapam for Tamizhisai Moovar is scheduled to commence soon, said Parithi Ellamvazhudhi, Minister for Information and Broadcasting, after inspecting the site here on Wednesday. The Manimandapam for the three Tamil composers will be spread over 0.44 acres with a built-up area of 358.80 square metres. The blueprint envisages a Rs.1.30-crore manimandapam and three bronze statues of the composers at a cost of Rs.7 lakh each. The project will come up at a total cost of Rs.1.51 crore. The mandapam will be conceived geometrically to enable a view of Thamizhisai Moovar from any direction and the central mandapam will have seven kalasams. Muthu Thandavar (14th century), Arunachala Kavirayar (18th century) and Marimuthu Pillai(18th century), were also called the pre-trinity composers. Arunachala Kavirayar was born in Thillayadi, Marimuthu Pillai in Thilaividangan and Muthu Thandavar in Sirkazhi. The three are regarded as the Tamil-trinity in recognition of their Tamil compositions for Carnatic music. A manimandapam for them was announced by Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi in 2000 and an initial estimated cost was Rs.30 lakh. Mr. Illamvazhidhi said a few changes in the blueprint would be made. K. Baskaran, Director of Information and Publicity; Premalatha, Deputy Secretary, PWD (Constructions); N. Pazhani, Revenue Divisional Officer; M. Paneerselvam and K. Anbazhagan, MLAs, were present.
