Statue for Chellamma Bharathi at Kadayam
Bharathi is one of the driving forces of Sevalaya. His statues and memorials are erected in places connected to his life, such as Ettayapuram, Varanasi, Chennai and Puducherry. But there is no trace of his life at Kadayam, the birthplace of his wife, where he spent 2 years of his life and penned many immortal poems.
