Top 16 Tourist Destinations in Kanyakumari
Vivekananda Memorial Rock
One of the most well-known attractions in Kanyakumari is the Vivekananda Rock Memorial,
which is situated on a tiny island. After three days of meditation, Swami Vivekananda found
enlightenment here in 1892.
The Vivekananda Mandapam and Shripada Mandapam are two of the memorial's most
noticeable elements. It's exciting to see a huge Swamiji statue with the Indian Ocean in the
background. Due to its serene surroundings and spiritual atmosphere, Vivekananda Rock
Memorial is a popular destination in Kanyakumari.
Thiruvalluvar Statue
This memorial honors Thiruvalluvar, a great poet and philosopher, and is situated on a small
island close to Kanyakumari. Tirukkual, one of the best works of Tamil literature, was written by
Thiruvalluvar. The statue, which is 133 feet tall and rests on a 38-foot base, can be seen from a
great distance. This area is culturally diverse and one of the most well-liked tourist destinations
in Kanyakumari.
Church of Lady of Ransom
A well-known Catholic church honoring Mother Mary may be found in Kanyakumari called Our
Lady of Ransom Church. The church was constructed in the 15th century and is a magnificent
illustration of Gothic style. Awe-inspiring scenery results from the church's blue color contrasted
with the pounding surf of the ocean behind it. The centre tower of this beautiful structure's
golden cross lends to its majesty and allure, but what most draws visitors in is its serenity and
quiet.
Tsunami Monument
The Tsunami Monument is a one-of-a-kind structure that is situated close to Kanyakumari's
southern shore. This memorial honors the thousands of victims of the earthquake and tsunami
that struck the Indian Ocean on December 26, 2004. This natural calamity claimed over 2,80,000
lives, not just in India but also in Somalia, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Thailand, and Indonesia.
This memorial is visited by people from all walks of life who want to honor the fallen.
Thirparappu Falls
One of the most well-known tourist attractions in Kanyakumari is the Thirparappu waterfall,
which flows 50 feet from a height of 50 feet. This artificial waterfall has a pool below it where

in the vicinity in addition to visiting the falls. Near the falls' entrance is a modest Shiva temple
where worshippers can pray for blessings.
Coast of Kanyakumari
The stunning, undeveloped coastline in Kanyakumari, India's southernmost point, changes color
with the light of the day. The Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean, and the Arabian Sea are all
nearby. Amazingly, you can see that the three seas' waters do not mingle here. Instead, the
deeper blue, turquoise blue and green seas can be identified by their distinctive colors, which
vary with the seasons and the prevailing weather.
Temple in Thanumalaya
Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, popularly known as the Trimurthis, are revered at the holy site in
Suchindram known as Sthanumalayan Kovil. The temple was rebuilt in the 17th century, but its
earliest written records are from the ninth century.
This temple is a magnificent example of architecture. The 4 melodic pillars that were carved out
of a single stone in the alankara mandapam section of this temple are its most distinctive feature.

interesting fact is that the Sthanumalayan Perumal Temple is a symbol of both Shaiva and
Vaishnava Hinduism.

residence of the Travancore kings. On the route to Kanyakumari, you can find this stunning
example of native Keralan architecture, the Thuckalay temple. Despite its age, the palace's
murals, exquisite carvings, and black granite floor continue to be breathtaking.
The mysticism of "Thaikkottaram," the Queen Mother's palace, is enhanced by the wood melodic
bow, colored mica windows, regal chairs carved in the Far East, and painted ceilings.
Bhagavathy Amman Temple
One of the most revered and historically significant tourist destinations in Kanyakumari is this
three thousand year old shrine, commonly known as the Devi Kanyakumari Temple. This temple
is one of Devi Kanyakumari Amman's 51 Shakti Peethas. Goddess Sati's lifeless body once fell
to this place when Lord Shiva carried her on his shoulders during the Dance of Destruction.
At the temple, there is a statue of Devi Kanyakumari Amman holding a rosary and donning gold
jewellery in her nostrils. The temple is renowned for its spiritual aura, as well as for its
breathtaking landscape and magnificent ancient architecture.
Wax Museum of Mayapuri

liked tourist destination. Famous national and worldwide leaders including Sir Abdul Kalam,
Mahatma Gandhi, Charlie Chaplin, Mother Teresa, and Michael Jackson are among those

historical and cultural artefacts from India and other nations.
Vattakottai Fort
Vattakottai Fort, also known as "Circular Fort," is a beach fort close to Kanyakumari, which is

places, was done using granite blocks. The Indian Archaeological Department, which just
finished the fort's extensive renovation, is now responsible for its protection.

One of the most well-known historical structures of religious significance is the St. Xavier
Church, which is situated in Nagercoil and was constructed by St. Francis Xavier in the 1600s.

rising at the same time. The point is also a famous location for photographers and offers stunning
views of the Vivekananda Rock Memorial and other adjacent sites.
Chitharal Jain Monuments
Both architecture lovers and Jain pilgrims have long found the Chitharal Jain Monument
complex to be a popular vacation spot. These monuments are significant historically and serve as
wonderful illustrations of how various religions coexist in the nation.
Digambar Jain monks originally resided in Chitharal, which explains why there is a cave temple
with 9th-century rock-cut carvings of several gods. Along with the magnificent monuments, the
area is a must-see for its calm and alluring ambiance.
Gandhi Mandapam
