Chennai, Madurai, Rameswaram, Kanyakumari, A Page From My Diary

Rating: 5.0


Kanyakumari is a famous seashore, strewn with colorful stones and pebbles,
A holy pilgrimage of churches and temples. with legendary tales and fables.
A meeting place greeting with the confluence of three different oceans',
Distinct water bodies of Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean.

It's the southernmost tip of India mainland, with majestic hills and plains,
Crowned with so many cliffs, undulating valleys in mountainous terrain,
Sunrise and sunset can be witnessed here, are unique, the most beautiful,
In a full moon night, both sunset and moon rise, can make a wonderful view.

The ancient landmark is the temple of the sea goddess, the Kanyakumari,
Who prayed to Lord Shiva as her husband but could not succeed to marry.
Her marriage ceremony was fixed by her king parents, as the legend said,
But Lord Shiva failed to appear the very night, and she remained ever-maid.

Here exists the beautiful Vivekananda Rock Memorial in the midst of the sea,
Where is believed, the Goddess mother Kanyakumari's, rock footprint to be.
People throng in large numbers, to witness the holy symbol and virtue to gain
A meditation hall is built up here, to facilitate devotees, to go under meditation.
