| About Kanyakumari Tourism |
|
The coast town of Kanyakumari or Cape Comorin lies at the southernmost tip of India where the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean
meet. It has been an important centre for art, religion and trade for
centuries. Flanked by hills and paddy fields on one side and the ocean
on the other, Kanyakumari is the 'Land's End' of India. Beautiful
beaches with multi-coloured sands, spectacular sunrises and sunsets,
and ancient temples with a rich architectural heritage make this
coastal town a popular tourism destination. Kanyakumari literally means a virgin and gets its name from the Kumari Amman Temple.
Legend has it that the princess Kanya Devi, one of the many forms of
Goddess Parvati was supposed to marry Lord Shiva. But due to his
inability to turn up on the auspicious time, the wedding never took
place and hence the name, Kanyakumari.
