Kanyakumari, the picnic spot
Kanyakumari is one of the famous tourist spots in India.. Its the place where three seas meet..
ie. The Arabian sea, Bay of Bengal and The Indian ocean join here..
Sun rise and sun set is clearly visible in Kanyakumari.. Lots and lots of people from various places of India as well as foreign countries come here to see the sun rise and sun set..
There is a statue of Thiruvalluvar in the midst of the the sea which is 133 feet high.. Thiruvalluvar is one of the famous tamil writers who wrote Thirukural..It consists of 1330 kurals which tells about each and every situation a person exhibits in his entire life.. Boating service is provided from the shore to that rock in the sea..
Near the thiruvalluvar statue in the midst of the sea there is a vivekanandar mani mandapam where there are some spots for meditation.. Its a place where we can rest our mind and feel the silence of the world.. Another important place is the Gandhi mandapam.. Its speciality is that, on Oct 2nd the sun rays fall in a particular space inside the mani mandapam.. Other than that lots and lots of decorative items from sea are available there.. Some amazing waterfalls and beaches are there near by.. Palaces owned by Kings are maintained by the government and lots of rare sculptures and statues are found.. If you get a chance to visit India, ne'er miss to visit Kanyakumari..
