At the Southernmost tip of India, where the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal meet, lies Kanyakumari, an important pilgrimage site. The basic attraction includes the Kumari Amman temple where there are two rocks, one of these is known as Sri Padaparai, where the footprints of the virgin goddess are to be seen. Swami Vivekananda is said to have sat in deep meditation on this rock: and here stands the Vivekananda Rock Memorial, built in 1970.
