The best thing about Kanyakumari is they have a statue for Thiruvalluvar and a memorial for the great Swami Vivekananda. This is just 400 meters away from the shores of Kanyakumari and we can reach this rock with the help of the ferry service available there.

This is the place where Swami Vivekananda meditated and this turned to be an important event in his life. One can have a wonderful experience here where the two seas and an ocean mingle. The architecture of this memorial is wonderful and glitters during the night hours. There is a Meditation Hall here. A Book Store containing the teachings & works of Swami Vivekananda is also available.

This stands as one of the popular tourist monument located in Vavathurai, Kanyakumari. The memorial stands on one of two rocks located about 500 meters east off mainland of Vavathurai. It was built in 1970 honoring Swami Vivekananda, the reason why they built a memorial here is, in 1892 he swam to this rock and meditated. It is said that he attained enlightenment on the rock and that is the reason of the origins of the memorial here. According to local legends, it was on this rock that Goddess Kumari performed austerity.

Anyhow, Once you reach Kanyakumari be ready to witness Swami Vivekananda and Thiruvalluvar.
