The Most famous place to visit in Kanyakumari is the Vivekananda Rock Memorial built in honor of Swami Vivekananda –the great social reformer who fought against religious inequality in India. The memorial can be reached on a ferry and has a temple and meditation hall which provides a serene opportunity for meditation in the background of fast blowing winds and vivid colors of Seas.
