“Aadkatti velli Maveerar Thuyilum illam.”

‘Heroes Day Commemoration’ commemorates the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the liberation of Tamil people. This event was held in a very emotional manner at the “Aadkatti velli Maveerar Thuyilum illam.”

The Premier flame was lit at 6:05 pm by Kandaiya Vairamuthu, the father of the three sons’ of Maveerar.

Following this, parents, relatives, ex-combatants, politicians, and religious leaders attended the function and gave homage to the fallen martyrs by lighting a candle and offering flowers.

In 2009, when the final phase of the war was over Maveerar Thuyilum illam was captured and destroyed by the Army.

Following this situation, when the broken tombs of the Maveerar Thuyilum illam were found scattered and defamed, the parents of those Maveeras had piled them up in one place and held a series of worship ceremonies.

It is noteworthy that at this time, the Thuyilum illams of those heroes were restored and the formal commemorations of hero’s day took place emtionally.
