Kanyakumari is the Southern tip of India. During the British era, Kanyakumari was given the name of Cape Comorin. The Rock Memorial of Swami Vivekananda located here is considered to be one of the wonders of India.

Another historical relevance of this place is the Gandhi Memorial Mandapam that has some of Gandhi’s ashes preserved.
A fact about Gandhi’s Memorial spot in Kanyakumari is that every year on October 2nd, the sunrays reflect exactly over the spot where his ashes are kept.
