There is also a beautiful statue of him inside . As photography is in the Vivekananda memorial we had to be content taking photos of the exterior and the seascape....We returned at dusk to watch the sun setting on the waves. It was dramatic: the entire sky seemed to be ablaze with colour. The temperature dropped and a cool wind swept our faces. Mesmerised, we watched as the colours quietened eventually and the big round red ball dipped peacefully below the horizon bathing the soft waves of the three seas with a mellow glow. Then the moon took centre stage and the waves turned silver! Suddenly there was clapping. We came out of our trance to see that thousands of people had gathered around us to watch this wonderful sunset too! With such natural grandeur around, no wonder Tamil Nadu’s ancient kings and architects had been inspired to think on a grand scale too!
