A
very enjoyable place - Kanyakumari beach,
beautiful sight with multi-coloured
sand. The beach here does not really
offer one the opportunity to sunbathe
on soft golden sands, or to frolic in
the waves either. The seashore is rocky
and dangerous, and there is a manmade
wall running along it. People are warned
to stay off the rocks, and when if someone
ventures out of bounds, he or she is
quickly and severely reprimanded by
a watchful policeman. There is a lighthouse
from where one can get a panoramic view.
On balmy evenings, one can watch the
sun set while full moon is rising in
another part of the sky. It was a faith
that Kanyakumari district has been named
after the Goddess Kanyakumari Amman,
who is a well known diety of this district
and over throughout the country. The
legend is that the Goddess Parvathi
is one of her incarnation as 'Devi Kanya'
did penance on one of the rocks of this
land's end to obtain the hand of Lord
Siva. |
| Major
Attraction of the Beach |
Sangam is the meeting
point of the three major bodies of water,
the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea and
the Indian Ocean. It is a bathing ghat,
with steps leading into the water and
a sort of lagoon formed between land
by a series of rocks.
Kumari Amman Temple is another attraction,
dedicated to Parvati as Devi Kanya,
the Virgin Goddess who did penance to
obtain the hand of Lord Shiva.
There is a Temple Of Goddess Bhagavathi
in Kanyakumari. Few temples in India
are more picturesquely located than
that of Goddess Bhagavathi in Kannyakumari.
It stands near where three oceans meet:
the Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal
and the Arabian Sea. |
| Leisure
activities at the Beach |
| With long stretches
of sands of many hues, the beach offers
a welcome change. A variety of shells
are on sale on the Kanyakumari beach.
You can also indulge in some shopping
spree while visiting Kanya Kumari and
collect some souvenirs of your unforgettable
travel experience. |
