An inscription on the base identifies the sculptor as "the wise, grateful and good artist Amrita, pupil of Indranilamani"
This reflects the importance of student teacher relationship.

The one at the center is probably a Goddess and around her the women perform a dance we call it in Tamizh as Kolattam.
This name comes from its literal Tamil roots: kol translates to "stick" and attam translates to "dance".
The vibrant, rhythmic performance involves dancers moving in circular formations and striking short wooden sticks together to create a beat.

Saint Ramanujar worked tirelessly to make spiritual knowledge accessible to all sections of society, transcending barriers of caste and status.
He played a major role in organizing temple worship traditions and strengthening the Sri Vaishnava sampradaya across South India.
His life and teachings continue to inspire millions through their message of devotion, compassion, equality, and surrender to the Divine.
