The Vivekananda Rock Memorial has a rich cultural and historical significance making it a symbol of spiritual awakening.
The Memorial was designed by the renowned Indian architect Eknath Ranade. The memorial stands on two rocks, Sripada Parai and Shakti Peetha.
The design of the hall is such that it receives sunlight only during specific periods of the day, creating a serene and spiritually charged atmosphere
In close proximity to the Vivekananda Rock Memorial, there is a massive 133 ft. statue of the ancient Tamil poet and philosopher Thiruvalluvar.
The Vivekananda Rock Memorial is situated near the Kumari Amman Temple, dedicated to the goddess Devi Kanya Kumari.
The exact spot where Swami ji meditated, is now known as the Shripada Mandapam and visitors can see the footprint of the saint preserved there.
