Kanyakumari-Cape comorin!
The city at the southernmost tip of India, Kanyakumari offers you the mingling of three great seas, namely the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean
and the great beaches from where you can see these giant water bodies. Also known as Cape Comorin, it is the district headquarters and an important pilgrimage place of the region. The sunrise and sunset here is exceptionally beautiful, especially on full moon days when one can see the setting of sun and rising of moon almost simultaneously. Endowed richly with paddy fields and coconut groves, the place is named after the Goddess Kannyakumari Amman, the presiding deity of the area. It is said that Devi Kanya, one of the incarnations of Goddess Parvati did penance on one of the rocks here to woo Lord Shiva.
The prime places are
1.Kumari amman temple,
The temple dedicated to the Virgin Goddess known as Devi Kanya or Kumari Amman, an incarnation of Goddess Parvati is a must see here.
2.Vivekananda memorial rock,
The memorial erected to commemorate the visit of Vivekananda to Kanyakumari in December 25, 1892, and spent whole night into deep meditation in a rock in the sea before resolving to serve his Motherland and spreading the message of Vedanta, recently came into news when giant disastrous Tsunami waves hit it last year.
3.Gandhi mandapam
The shrine is erected in the sport where the urn containing the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi was kept for public view last time before immersing the ashes in the three seas. The architecture resembles an Orissa temple and the wonder of the place is that on 2nd October (birth day of Gandhi ji) every year, the sun's rays fall on the place where his ashes were kept.
4.Thiruvalluvar statue,
The main theme is height of statue is 133 feet wich
denotes number of stanzas in his poem.
