The mortal remains of the Great Anna lies here in the vicinity of the Bay of Bengal. The memorial monument features a huge monolith. It is a great place to hang out. Public have access to the lawn and benches here which makes it a welcoming place. I personally think it is time for a renewal of the monument may be with some additions which makes it architecturally more appealing. A renewal will attract more visitors here and will make it an important spot of tourism in the map of Chennai

If you visit the marina beach of chennai then this is the must visit place of you. This area is not so much spacious. Only 20 minutes will be more than enough to roam whole area. Structural view of this area was awesome. I recommend this place to visit.

Well maintained . But need to concentrate on Drinking Water.

Well maintained may reach here for peace a perfect place for photography. Regarding the travel Many buses reach here bcoz of the terminal Anna square. U can also reach here by bike,car but pls see that traffic wont kill us. Enjoy the place with the beach surrounding us and thanks for reading my review.

Great political leader DMK.There is a museum for anna things and were kept inside which is used by anna..

Wonderful structure.. Its a good place but no proper facility for drinking water..

Very lively place. Crowded on weekends. But a nice place to enjoy evening breeze. The instant food shops are a bonus.

It is a great place to hang out. Public have access to the lawn and benches here which makes it a very nice place to be in.

A nice place to visit in chennai near the mesmerizing marina beach. The anna memorial arch gate is a beautiful instance of sculpture and construction. Go, visit and spent some peaceful time.

Nice place in famous marine beach. Nice memorial with garden.

The quote very nice in his memorial: HERE LIES THE NOBLE HEART WHICH CAN BEAR ANY THING.

Visited many times it seems to be fine., Its good place for family to visit in-terms of weekend time spending along with #beach.There are some statues of #tamilPoets which is really appreciated and #Annadurai the #CM is one of the most praised leader and his achievements have been portrayed in #AnnaMuseum which is near to it.It is a #pleasant place filled with #trees #gardenings etc its been quite good for #nature lovers too.

Good Place to explore

Good place to visit I liked it in the evening we met Stanley and his family.We went on a friday evening..its not very crowded.Well maintained.

It was the memorial of the legend whose funeral holds the world record for the maximum number of attendees till date. The Memorial dedicated to the man, who renamed Madras Presidency as Tamil Nadu.

Anna Square in Chennai is the resting place of late CM Annadurai. I always visit this picturesque modern park besides Marina beach. In one word, its eye-catching.

This place is samadhi for Perarignar Anna and Karunanidhi. Place was neat and cleanOnce you visit Perarignar Anna Memorial, you have to visit Karunanidhi’s samadhi as well

Nice place but no resting spot or veranda like Mandapam to spend time

Memorial of Anna is located next to the marina beach. Place the visit. Neatly maintained and nicely designed.

Chennai Anna Memorial Park located marina beachChennai best park for kids and couplesBest mind relax place

Anna memorial gives an idea of dravid Movement and contribution of anna. Nice place to visit.

Nice memorial right on the Merina beach, one of the longest beach in India. Lots of local peoples and tourists spend time here. Full of sea breeze. Anna Square is a very famous bus stop.

Anna memorial, locally known as Anna Samadhi, is a memorial structure built on the Marina beach in Chennai, India. It was built in memory of former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, C. N. Annadurai (1967-69), who was cremated here in 1969. The memorial lies on the northern end of the Marina abutting the MGR Memorial.In 1996-1998, the memorial was remodelled at a cost of ₹ 27.5 million and the entrance arch carried the design of Rising Sun, the symbol of the DMK party. However, the design was removed after the AIADMK party returned to power in May 2001. The renovation resulted in the original tusk-shaped entrance arch giving way to a highly polished marble tiled structure, widened pathways, and building of ornamental octagonal mantapams. After the Indian Ocean tsunami struck the coastal parts of the state in December 2004, the memorial, along with other structures on the seashore, was affected. Subsequently, repair works were undertaken at a cost of ₹ 13.3 million. In 2012, the memorial was renovated at a cost of ₹ 12 million.The memorial also houses a museum on Annadurai, which is located at the northern side.

This place is so much filled with crowd all the time, legends of Tamil Nadu and their work is being spread with beautiful pictures and painting in the gallery and the love towards their motherland and the language can be clearly seen in this place.. taking picture of their work is prohibited inside the museum so you must see by yourself

Visited in Nov 2018.Anna Memorial (Anna Samadhi), on Marina beach, is a beautiful structure. C. N. Annadurai (the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu) was cremated here. Another Veteran leader & former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Karunanidhi also rests here.Almost at the northern end of the beach, this compound has many beautiful statues & structures to see. This complex also includes a museum on Annadurai (on the northern side).This complex will need around 45 minutes to see & photograph. Mornings and evenings are preferred to noon.The greenery was reasonably well maintained.

Best memorial place near by merina beach

A peaceful place and memorial of great man located in the sea shore.. and there is also a Anna museum which consists of memories of Anna located nearby Anna Memorial

Never forget the places. Always best. Because of 2 legends sleeping now.. After great Works for Tamilnadu 👏

Very good place near merina beach. We can know more about Anna at Anna musem. Very nice historical photos available inside.

Anna memorial, karnanidi ghat are the very popular place in chennai and near meriina beech.

Good place to spend some time when visiting Marina beach.

I saw at beach . They are not greater than kamaraj . But they created a memorial one another to other and final there is no marina beach

Wow architecture ..make Us feel Proud

Good historical place.

Good clean and quiet place... For Family and travelers

Its very important to study about perarignar Anna. Before visiting his memorial. Near by Anna you can visit his brother Muthuvel Karunanidhi was an Indian writer and politician who served as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for almost two decades over five terms between 1969 and 2011. He was a long-standing leader of the Dravidian movement and ten-time president of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam political party.

Its closed due to covid 19 pandemic now.. You can learn who Annadurai is and why he is important for tamilnadu

Good 👍

Good leader and politician

Beautiful memorial place

The one who changed the scheduled and tribes life

Pies full area

Definitely a place to visit when in the city. I liked the hall which displays respected Annas historical photographs, used things, his awards and books. Well maintained beyond the huge number of people visiting everyday. Easily reachable from central railway station via bus/local train/ can/ auto. Try going in the morning or evening to avoid the sun. Also enjoy the beach along with it.

Anna memorial park.Theme park of Anna in Telugu languages .My suggestions is Hindi language use at these park for theme.More People know about Anna if its Hindi also.

This express the love on best leadership

Very nice

Great leader

Great leaders are still alive in the peoples heart !

Peaceful place.
