ANNA CENTENARY LIBRARY IN KOTTURPURAM | ANNA LIBRARY CHENNAI IS THE BIGGEST IN SOUTH ASIA | Top 10 Tamilnadu


The Anna Centenary Library (ACL) is a newly established state library of Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is located at Kotturpuram in Chennai, Tamil Nadu India. Built at a cost of INR 1,720 million, it is the largest library in South Asia.[1] It is named after the former chief minister of Tamil Nadu, C. N. Annadurai. Hillary Clinton, U.S. Secretary of State had lauded the library during her visit to Chennai on 20 July 2011.

Built over a massive area of 3.75 lakh sq ft in Kotturpuram, the state PWD has spent about Rs 180 cr on this. This library has been built to house 1.20 million books. Madras University alone has donated 3.75 lakhs books to this library. The library will have books on all major languages, besides providing access to two lakh ‘e-books’ and 20,000 ‘e-journals’.

The ACL will not only be networked to all other public libraries across the state led by the famous Connemara Public Library in Chennai, but will also accommodate the country’s oldest manuscript library here called ‘The Oriental Manuscripts Library’, officials said. The latter is now housed in the Madras University Library complex.

A “very special feature” of the ACL is that it would straightaway have a digital edge, being a partner of the World Digital Library (WDL) project, says Thennarasu, the Education Minister, Government of Tamilnadu. This will give it access to primary sources of knowledge of countries and cultures across the globe. So far, the Allama Iqbal Library of the University of Kashmir is the only library in the country connected to the WDL network.

 The library include a Braille section for the visually impaired, a captivating separate section for children’s books with a huge replica of the “Tree of Knowledge” rooted in its heart, a 1,280-capacity auditorium.

The entrance to the building showcases a 5 ft bronze statue of C.N. Annadurai. The library employs 200 staff, including 96 permanent and 40 contract employees, and has a collection of 550,000 books. It is visited by about 1,300 persons every day.

The library has a special section for Braille, children's books and manuscripts etc. The building is designed in such a way that the reading area receives good daylight. The western end is flanked by the service areas to prevent solar radiation. The seven-storey atrium allows in abundant natural light.

Deepavali Wishes, Free Deepavali Greetings Cards, Happy Diwali Cards

Deepavali Festivals in Tamil Nadu | About Deepavali in Tamil | தீபாவளி , தீப ஒளித்திருநாள் (தமிழ்)

தீபாவளி - Deepavali :
தீபாவளி அல்லது தீப ஒளித்திருநாள் ஐப்பசி அமாவாசை முன் தினம் நரக சதுர்த்தசி அன்று கொண்டாடும் ஓர் இந்து பண்டிகையாகும். இந்துக்கள் மட்டுமின்றி சீக்கியர்களும், சமணர்களும் கூட இப்பண்டிகையை வெவ்வேறு காரணங்களுக்காக கொண்டாடுகின்றனர். தமிழர்கள் இப்பண்டிகையை முக்கியப் பண்டிகையாக கருதுவதில்லை. இருப்பினும் மலேசியா, சிங்கையில் வாழும் தமிழர்கள் தீபாவளியைக் கோலாகலமாகக் கொண்டாடச் செய்கின்றனர்.

In Tamil Nadu it is celebrated as Deepavali celebrate this by lighting deepams, bursting fireworks, wearing new clothes and sharing sweets. A traditional visit to the Temple is a significant ritual of the day.

    * The city Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu is the capital of India’s firework industry with about 8,000 factories, producing 90 percent of the country's total fireworks output. It also has the world's largest fireworks manufacturing unit.

The entire house is cleaned and new clothes are purchased for the entire family which is followed by lighting of oil lamps around the house and bursting firecrackers.

'தீபம்' என்றால் ஒளி, விளக்கு. 'ஆவளி' என்றால் வரிசை. வரிசையாய் விளக்கேற்றி, இருள் நீக்கி, ஒளி தரும் பண்டிகையே தீபாவளி ஆகும். தீபத்தில் பரமாத்மாவும், நெருப்பில் ஜீவாத்மாவும் வாசம் செய்து அருள் தருவதாய் ஐதீகம். ஒவ்வொருத்தர் மனதிலும் ஒரு சில இருட்டு உள்ளது. அகங்காரம், பொறாமை, தலைக்கணம் போன்ற எதையாவது ஒன்றை அகற்ற வேண்டும். ஒரு தீய குணத்தை எரித்துவிட வேண்டும்.

இந்துக்கள் திபாவளி கொண்டாடுவதற்கு பல காரணங்களை, புராணக் கதைகளின் வழியாகக் கூறுகின்றனர்.

    * இராமன் பதினான்கு வருடங்கள் வனவாசம் முடித்து, நாடு திரும்பும் போது மக்கள் விளக்கேற்றி வரவேற்றனர்.
    * புராணக் கதைகளின் படி, கிருசுணனின் இரு மனைவியருள் ஒருவளான நிலமகளுக்கு பிறந்த மகன் ஒரு அசுரன் . அப்போது கிருசுணன் வராக(பன்றி) அவதாரம் எடுத்திருந்தான். பிறந்த அசுரனின் பெயர் நரகன். அந்நரகன், தன் அன்னையால் மட்டுமே தனக்கு இறப்பு ஏற்பட வேண்டும் என்று வரம் வாங்கியிருந்தான். அவனின் அநீதிகளை நிறுத்த வேண்டி, கிருசுணன் தனதுத்திறமையால் அந்நரகாசுரனை இறக்க வைக்கிறான்.
    * கிருஷ்ணர், நரகாசுரன் என்ற அசுரனைக் கொன்ற போது, அவன் தான் இறக்கும் தினத்தை மக்கள் கொண்டாட வேண்டும் என்று கேட்ட வரத்திற்கிணங்க தீபாவளி மகிழ்ச்சியாகக் கொண்டாடப்படுகின்றது.

    * இராமாயண இதிகாசத்தில், இராமர், இராவணனை அழித்து விட்டு, தனது வனவாசத்தையும் முடித்து விட்டு, மனைவி சீதையுடனும் சகோதரன் இலட்சுமணனுடனும் அயோத்தி திரும்பிய நாளை, அயோத்தி மக்கள் ஊரெங்கும் விளக்கேற்றிக் கொண்டாடி மகிழ்ந்தனர். இந்நாளே தீபாவளியாக கொண்டாடப் படுவதாக கருதப் படுகிறது.

    * ஸ்கந்த புராணத்தின் படி, சக்தியின் 21 நாள் கேதார விரதம் முடிவுற்றது இத்தினத்தில் தான். விரதம் முடிவடைந்த பின்னர் சிவன், சக்தியை தன்னில் ஒரு பாதியாக ஏற்று 'அர்த்தநாரீஸ்வரர்' உருவமெடுத்தார்.


தீபாவளி அன்று அனைவரும் அதிகாலை 3 மணிக்கு எழுவர். இல்லத்தின் மூத்த உறுப்பினர் ஒவ்வொருவர் காலிலும் நலங்கு (மஞ்சளும் சுண்ணாம்பும் கலந்த கலவை) இட்டு மகிழ்வர். பின் எண்ணெய்க் குளியல் (கங்கா குளியல்) செய்வர். நல்லெண்ணெயில் ஓமம் மற்றும் மிளகு போட்டுக் காய்ச்சுவது சிலரது வழக்கம். மக்கள் புத்தாடை உடுத்தியும் பட்டாசுகள் வெடித்தும் மகிழ்வர்.

பொதுவாக தீபாவளி அன்று பாரம்பரிய உடைகளை அணியவே பெரும்பாலான தென்னிந்திய மக்கள் விரும்புகின்றனர். அன்று அநேக பெண்கள் புடவையும் (குறிப்பாக பட்டுப்புடவை) ஆண்கள் வேட்டியும் உடுப்பர். தீபாவளி அன்று ஒவ்வொரு இல்லத்திலும் மங்கள இசையான நாதசுவரம் ஒலிக்கும். அன்று இனிப்புக்கள் நிறைய செய்து ஒருவருக்கொருவர் பரிமாறிக்கொள்வர். பரிசுகள் தந்து மகிழ்வர். பெரியோரை வணங்கி வாழ்த்து பெறுவர். தீபாவளி இலேகியம் (செரிமானத்திற்கு உகந்தது) அருந்துவதும் மரபு.

தீபாவளியன்று நீராடுவதை மட்டும் புனித நீராடல் என்று சொல்வதற்கு காரணம், அன்றைய தினம், அதிகாலையில் எல்லா இடங்களிலும், தண்ணீரில் கங்கையும், எண்ணெயில் லட்சுமியும் அரப்பில் சரஸ்வதியும், குங்குமத்தில் கௌரியும், சந்தனத்தில் பூமாதேவியும், புத்தாடைகளில் மஹாவிஷ்ணுவும் வசிப்பதாக கருதப்படுவதேயாகும். அந்த நீராடலைத்தான் "கங்கா ஸ்நானம் ஆச்சா" என்று ஒருவருக்கொருவர் விசாரிப்பர். அன்றைய தினம், எல்லா நதிகள், ஏரிகள், குளங்கள், கிணறுகளிலும், நீர்நிலைகளும் "கங்கா தேவி" வியாபித்து இருப்பதாக ஐதீகம். அடிப்படையில் இந்துப் பண்டிகையாய் இருந்தாலும், சாதி மத வேறுபாடின்றி அனைவரும் ஒற்றுமையாய் கொண்டாடும் பண்டிகை தீபாவளி.

11. Padma Seshadiri Bala Bhavan Secondary School, Chennai

About – Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan (PSBB) is a group of schools Nungambakkam was established in 1958 by a group of housewives of the Nungambakkam Ladies Recreation Club. There were 13 students in a thatched shed on the terrace of the residence of the Dean and Director of the school, Dr. (Mrs.) Y.G. Parthasarathy
Today the school has five branches with 8000 students and 500 staff members.

One year after its inception, in 1959, the school shifted to a campus of its own at the present premises in Nungambakkam. It followed the Madras Matriculation System unit of Madras University. As the school grew in strength, the need to extend its branches arose and thus emerged the T.P.Road Junior School in 1971, as an annex to the school in Nungambakkam. In 1978, this school was affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi.
In 1976 another branch of the PSBB School, affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, was started in a residential area of K.K.Nagar with 5-acre (20,000 m2) surroundings. The K.K. Nagar Branch had four sections of every class from Pre-KG to Std. X. Today it has 5000 students with ten sections in each of these classes. Standards XI and XII have seven sections each. Mrs Chandra Srinivasan, a 40-year veteran of the school, is the Advisor for Academics for PSBB. PSBB was compelled to adopt the CBSE educational system in the 1970s and 1980s to satisfy the growing demands of the residents of the city.
PSBB has been visited by (former) President of India A.P.J.Abdul Kalam.
In the year 2010, Mrs Y.G. Parthasarathy, Dean of the PSBB Schools has received the prestigious PadmaSri from the Government of India in Education and Literature.
