KANYAKUMARI

Rock

Kanyakumari or Cape Comorin, the southernmost tip of peninsular India, is the confluence of the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean is geographically, a strategic place.

The Vivekananda Memorial Rock and Thiruvalluvar Statue amidst mid-sea, Gandhi Mandapam, Kamaraj Mandapam, the presiding deity Godess Devi Kanyakumari—all these combine to make Kanyakumari, a vital place of cultural heritage.

The Sun Rise and the Sun Set, the myriad colour of sands on the beach, the surf-beaten rocky shores, the perennial jarring surfy waves, rocky sandy beaches—are the environmental heritage of the tip of the land.

 As the three seas confluence at the tip, people of three major religions confluence there, having their places of worship. It is an amicable place for piety and pilgrimage, harmony and peace, meditation and humanitarianism.

Kanyakumari is an ideal international tourist spot, visited by people round the year, owing to the remarkable, mediocre climate and easy approach through air and motorable roads. It is just 90 kms from the international airport, Thiruvananthapuram and well served by motorable roads and railways from the nook and corner of the country.
