| Destination details |
Kanya Kumari, also known as Cape Comorin, is the 'Land's End' of Indian peninsula. The three seas - the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea meet here and a dip in their confluence is considered holy. It has a great spiritual significance for the Hindus. It's dedicated to goddess Devi Kanya, a form of Parvati, the consort of Shiva. Kanya Kumari is essentially a pilgrimage town. Chaitra Purnima (Tamil for the April Full Moon) is one of the best times to experience the sunset and moonrise over the ocean simultaneously. |
