The multicolored sand is a unique feature of the beach here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kanyakumari was once referred to as the Alexandria of the east. This place has been a great center for art, culture, civilization, and pilgrimage for years. Kanyakumari was under the control of the Cholas, the Cheras, the Pandyas and the Nayaks who were great rulers of south India. The architectural beauty of the temples in Kanyakumari is the work of these rulers. Apart from its architectural beauty, it is also the famous center for commerce and trade. During the early part of the eighth century AD, Islam entered the southern part of India through the sea route with traders and missionaries. \u00a0During the British Raj, Kanyakumari was bestowed the title of Cape Comorin, necessitated perhaps by the Englishmen&#8217;s inability to pronounce local names.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below are few <\/span><b>Must-Visit places<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Kanyakumari:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>SRI BHAGAVATHI AMMAN KUMARI TEMPLE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Significance:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kanyakumari Temple is regarded as a Shakti Peetha.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shree Bhagavathy is in the form of an adolescent girl child.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>History:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sage Parashurama is said to have performed the consecration of the temple.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swami Vivekananda came here to seek Devi&#8217;s blessing in December 1892, as Devi is the goddess of Sanyasa.

He is globally renowned for his work Thirukkural, which is a collection of 1330 Tamil couplets. The Thiruvalluvar Statue was built in the memory of this great man and stands atop a small island rock, about 400 metres away from the coastline of Kanyakumari.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The creator of this marvellous statue was Dr. V. Ganapati Sthapati, who also made the Iraivan Temple. This spot was opened to public on 1st January 2000, and since then, it has been attracting people from near and far.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The overall height of this structure is 133 feet (symbolic of 133 chapters in his book), including 38 feet high pedestal and 95 feet tall sculpture. Interestingly, the statue of Thiruvalluvar represents wealth and pleasure while the pedestal on which it stands depicts 38 chapters from the Thirukkural based on &#8216;Virtue&#8217;.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another interesting fact about this statue is that its 19 feet high face (including nose, ear, forehead, eyes and mouth) is made using single stone, carved by hand.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surrounding the three-tier pedestal (also called Atharapeedam) is an artistically constructed mandapa, known as Alankara Mandapam. Inside the mandapa, 140 steps lead visitors to the feet of Thiruvalluvar.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>SUCHINDRAM THANUMALAYAN TEMPLE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>Significance:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Famed for its architectural splendour, Thanumalayan Temple is a 17th century Hindu shrine in the Suchindrum town of Kanyakumari. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also referred to as the Suchindrum Temple and Sthanumalayan Temple.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanumalayan is a combination of three words, where Thanustands for Shiva, Mal for Vishnu and Ayan is a name of Brahma.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the name suggests, the Trinity of these Hindu deities is worshiped in the temple. The temple enshrines one feet tall lingam of Sri Sthanumalaya, which symbolises these three Gods and is housed in the sanctum sanctorum.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Architecturally, the temple is an epitome of excellent craftsmanship. There are around 30 shrines within the Thanumalayan Temple, each boasting of impressive architecture.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the temple has several beautiful mandapas like Alangara Mandapam, Chempakaraman Mandapam and Garuda Mandapam.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The major highlights of the Alangara Mandapam are its musical pillars. Melodious musical tunes can be heard from these pillars when tapped. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Chempakaraman Mandapam, on the other hand, is a pavilion serving as a display of art and architecture.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Legend<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As per the temple legend, the establishment of this shrine and the appearance of the Trinity is the result of the chastity test of Anasuya \u2013 Sage Atri&#8217;s wife.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It states that once the Trinity visited the couple&#8217;s house as brahmans and requested for food, upon the condition that she would have to serve it nude.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the power of her chastity, she turned them into babies and served the food as per their wish.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dismayed by the absence of their husbands, consorts of the Trinity visited Anasuya to find them, but failed to identify them. It was only after many requests that she brought them back to their original form.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After this incident, a holy lingam emerged at the site, which is installed in the shrine. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Temple opening: (Opening and Closing timings)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All days of the week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.30 A.M. to 12.30 P.M<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.00 P.M. to 8.00 P.M.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Temple Pooja Timings:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abhiseka for Moola lingam\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 4.15 AM<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abiseka for Thanumalayan deity\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.45 AM<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Daily Festival Pooja\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a05.30 AM<\/p>\n<p>Tharai Abhisheka Pooja\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 6:30 AM<\/p>\n<p>Mistanga Pooja\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 7:00 AM<\/p>\n<p>Uchikkala Pooja\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a011:00 AM<\/p>\n<p>Arthajama Pooja\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a06:30 PM<\/p>\n<p><b>Temple contact number:<\/b><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ph: 04652 241 421<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><strong>PADMANABHAPURAM PALACE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Padmanabhapuram Palace is located in a place called Thuckalay in Kanyakumari.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a sight to behold.
