Kanniyakumari

Kanniyakumari is the location for the southernmost church in India. It is a
spectacular sight and visited frequently by tourists.
Another attraction of Kanniyakumair is the Swami Vivekananda memorial (or rock) which was built in dedication to the Indian philosopher Swami Vivekananda who was said to have meditated and died here. This memorial is on two rocky islands projecting from the sea about 400m offshore. Not surprisingly,
Kanniyakumari is a popular destination for Swami Vivekananda's followers, so there are many Bengalis here, and some Bengali hotels and restaurants too.
