The ongoing construction of a Memorial-cum-Museum in memory of the ruler of the erstwhile Pudukottai Samasthanam Raja Rajagopala Tondaiman on the District Collectorate premises in Pudukottai is expected to be completed by early next year.

Official sources said the memorial would have a meeting hall with a seating capacity of 530. The museum would display the items used by Raja Rajagopala Tondaiman. The construction work is expected to be completed by early next year, said an official of the Public Works Department.
