THIRUPARAMKUNDRAM,MADURAI
THE ARULMIGU SUBRAMANIYA SWAMY TEMPLE OWNS SEVERAL ACRES OF LAND BEHIND THE THIRUPURAMKUNDRAM HILLOCK. IN THE YEAR 2007, ALREADY 6 ACRES OF LAND WAS CONVERTED INTO A PUBLIC PARK.THROUGH TOURISM FUNDS THE TEMPLE AUTHORITIES HAD PLANNED AN EXPANSION OF ANOTHER 4 ACRES IN 2009. THE TAMIL NADU GOVERNMENT DECIDED TO ENROLL PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANCY FOR THIS PROJECT.
OUR FIRM WAS AWARDED THIS WORK OWING TO THE SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR PREVIOUS MILESTONE PROJECT NAMELY “PEDESTRIANISATION & BEAUTIFICATION AROUND THE MEENAKSHI TEMPLE SURROUNDS”.
SINCE A 6 ACRE PUBLIC PARK WAS ALREADY IN USE, THE CLIENTS WANTED DIFFERENT KIND OFF ACTIVITIES IN THE NEW PARK. UPON CONSULTATIONS WITH US, OVER AND ABOVE THE REGULAR PARK AMENITIES, A MULTIPURPOSE HANDICRAFT TRADE ZONE, A MEDITATION AREA, A PLANT GALLERY WERE INTRODUCED ALONG WITH A MUSIC FOUNTAIN.
