Thirukkural is a timeless classic that conveys centuries of wisdom to humanity. It is a collection of couplets written in the Tamil language. This magnum opus is beyond the boundaries of religion and has universal applicability. The couplets contain the teachings based on three broad categories virtue, wealth, and love. It is the most profound work on ethical and moral values ever offered to humanity. Inspired by the masterpiece, I set out to depict the couplets as illustrations that transform the world through the wisdom it radiates.
What could be better than an illustration style that complements the renowned Thirukkural? Here I present the couplets illustrated in the contemplated version of
