India is one of those privileged lands which have high mountains as well as oceans and sea shores. It also has its shores shared between three great seas - the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. The confluence of these three seas can be witnessed in Kanyakumari. This unique phenomenon has made this little town in the southernmost tip of mainland India a significant destination for religious or pleasure trips. The fame of Kanyakumari attracts prominent people such as Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi. It's not by coincidence that there are memorials named after these two figures. Moreover, Kanyakumari is one of the few places in the world where one can witness both the sunset and sunrise at the same beach due to its geography. The oldest and the most ancient landmark in this town is the temple of Goddess Kumari who prayed to Lord Shiva to be accepted as wife by him. The name of this place was given after the name of the Goddess.
