A few words about Kanykumari
Kanyakumari is a town located in the Tamil Nadu state of India. It is the southernmost tip of India and the Indian subcontinent, and is surrounded by the seas of 3 sides, the Arabian sea on the east, the Indian ocean ahead and the Bay of Bengal on the west.
(A small note: People sometimes ask 'kanyakumari is in which state? as they get confused whether its in Kerala or Tamil Nadu, which are both southern-most states of India. Kanyakumari district was earlier a part of Kerala, but was later merged into Tamil Nadu and now belongs to Tamil Nadu state)
Kanyakumari is a famous tourist destination most noted for its beautiful sunrise and sunset and the 'Sangam' that is the confluence of the 3 seas.
The major attractions for tourists visiting Kanyakumari are the Swami Vivekananda rock memorial, the 133 ft. statue of Tamil saint and poet, Thiruvalluvar, and the Kanyakumari and Suchindram temples located in the vicinity.
Other places of interest in Kanyakumari are the Vivekananda Kendra, Baywatch Amusement Park and Wax museum, Gandhi Mandapam, the wildlife sanctuary that is located in Kanyakumari district some distance away and the Udaygiri fort nearby.
Most of all tourists flock to Kanyakumari to view the scenic sunrise and sunset. The amazing location of Kanyakumari is such that from this location you can see the sun rise from the sea (from the Bay of Bengal on the east) and set into the sea (the Arabian sea on the west).
Also of special mention are the full moon nights when people can view the setting sun and the rising moon at the same time on opposite ends of the horizon.

As per Hindu mythology, the goddess Kanyakumari (also called Kumari Amman) was a reincarnation of goddess Parvati, and taking this form of a virgin girl (kanya=girl, kumari=virgin) she slayed the demon 'Banasur' who was immortal except that he could only be killed by a virgin girl.
