Beautiful Pictures of Kanyakumari India.
Kanyakumari is a town in Kanyakumari district
in Tamil Nadu state, India. Located at the southernmost tip
of the Indian Peninsula, it is also known by its
former name Cape Comorin. The closest major cities
are Nagercoil, the administrative headquarters
of Kanyakumari district,(22 km)and Thiruvananthapuram,
the capital of Kerala (85 km).
Kanyakumari takes its name from the Kumari Amman
or Kanyakumari Temple, situated in the town,
on the sea-shore, the very confluence of the three water-bodies
- the Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Mannar and the Indian Ocean.
In his work on ancient India, Ptolemy had identified
Kanyakumari (Cape Comorin) along with the Gulf of Mannar
as a center for pearl fishery. He also identifies
Korkai, a place to the east of Kanyakumari as an
emporium of pearl trade, also Travancore Census 1931
says that Paravars ruled that Coast and built
the temple for their reverence to Sea Goddess
