KANYA KUMARI

We call it in English CAPE KAMORIN.

As evident from the name it southern tip of India located in Tamilnadu.

There the monument of Swami Vivekanand is located in the sea, on a rock called VIVEKANAND ROCK>

History of this rock is Swami Vivekanand swam to this rock and meditated here seven days.

Other attraction of this place is temple of KANYA KUMARI (Vergin Girl).

The idol of of this girl has got DIAMOND on her nose.  

Originally this idol of girl with diamond on her nose was a light house without light.

The ships could visualize presence of land only by refraction/reflection of light from diamond of her nose. Source of light used to be, the light of travelling ship/boat.

With the development of technology it became redundant.

Further due to fear of invasion (as usual in India) ; they built a small temple around it, to protect the diamond, in turn the monument.
