Kanyakumari - கன்னியாகுமரி

Kanyakumari is the southernmost point of peninsular India and the meeting point of three oceans-the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean.At the southernmost tip of India, where the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal meet, lies Kanyakumari, an important pilgrim centre. It is famous for its spectacular sunrises and sunsets, especially on full moon days. The beach itself is a beautiful site with multi-coloured sand. There is a lighthouse from where one can get a panoramic view. Kanniyakumari, the 'lands end' of India is one of the most popular tourist spots of the country. It nestles elegantly on the very tip of the Indian peninsula, at the confluence of the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. The town is at its best during the chaitra poornima (full moon day in April), when the Sun and Moon are face to face at the same horizon. Other full moon days are also special, when one can view the sun set and moon rise almost simultaneously.
