The Tiruchi Corporation is all set to switch on the high powered multi coloured lights fitted around the Rockfort Temple. The initiative is part of a ₹ 11.36 crore project taken up under the Smart City Mission. It was one among the important projects launched by the civic body when it began sourcing funds under the Smart City Mission after the city was selected among the smart cities across the country. Since the Rockfort is a monument being controlled and maintained by the Archeological Survey of India, the corporation had to seek its nod to carry out the illumination project. It got the approval of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment to carry out the work around the hillock that houses Sri Thayumanaswamy Temple and Uchipillaiyar Temple. The project has taken a clear shape with the installation of lights at various locations around the Rockfort.
