Have you heard a place called kanyakumari?it is a cape at the southermost end of India. We sometimes say that Himalayas are the crown of mother India; so we can regard Kanyakumari as her holy feet. At Kanyakumari there is a famous old temple. It stands on the southernmost point of land, very near the sea. Pilgrims bathe in the sea and go up into the temple for worship. In the temple, there stands a praying figure of a girl goddess; she stands facing the Bay of Bengal to east. The goddess is called Kanyakumari. The place is called Kanyakumari after her. In foreign countries it is generally known by the name cape comorin; but its Indian name, Kanyakumari is now becoming popular.
