Kanyakumari

The Kanya Kumari Temple is dedicated to the Virgin Goddess Kanya Devi who is an incarnation of Parvati. It is situated overlooking the shore, adjoining the Ghats. One of the two major rocks of the temple, reaching out into the sea, is believed to bear the footprints of the virgin goddess. Also, Swami Vivekananda sat in deep meditation at the other rock, now known as the Vivekananda Memorial Rock, which is another major attraction at Kanyakumari. Another very popular attraction is the Gandhi Memorial. This memorial was so built that every year on 2nd October, i.e. the Gandhiji’s Birthday, the first rays of the sun fall on the exact place where his ashes were kept before they were immersed into sea.

The St. Xavier’s Church in Nagercoil, the district capital, is one of the oldest churches in India.
