KanyaKumari closely associated with Vivekananda is the land of the three seas.It is also known as Cape Comorin, Kumari and Kumari Munai. This is a ‘rocky mainland‘ on the Indian Ocean in the State of Tamil Nadu and located at the Southern most tip of the Indian Subcontinent. It is also popularly known as,Koodal, meaning it is situated at the Confluence of three oceans Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean. Kanyakumari is popular because it is the only places on earth, where one can see the Sun Rise and Sun Set from the ocean. It is the only place in India where one can enjoy the unique spectacle of Sunset and Moonrise simultaneously on full moon days. On Chitra Paurnami one can view both the sun and the moon facing each other on the same horizon, a rare sight of unique grandeur, which seems to happen by prior arrangement. Next to the Vivekananda Ashram is a statue of Swami Vivekananda and the Samadhi of Eknath Ranade. Indeed a very spiritual experience to visit the confluence of religions and Indian culture.
