There are two theories that are popular one is centered around Kanyakumari – the virgin form of Parvati and the other is weave around Kumari, King Bharat’s daughter, and Shakuntala’s granddaughter. Both these legends are discussed here.&nbsp;<br></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Kanyakumari as a form of Parashakti:</span></div><div>According to legends, bathing at Kanyakumari is said to absolve all from sins and that is why for thousand of years Kanyakumari stands out as one of the main pilgrimage centers in India. There is an interesting tale behind the name as well as the sanctified waters of Kanyakumari. This story primarily involves 3 characters from Indian Mythology, Lord Shiva, Parvathy and a demon called Banasura Let’s see why.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Banasura wreaks havoc:</span></div><div>Once upon a time a Demon king protected by a boon that he can be killed only by a virgin girl was wreaking havoc in both heaven and earth. Gods and sages were both tortured alike with gods driven out of heaven. Unrighteousness prevailed all around. Mother Earth was so exasperated by the agony of her children that she couldn’t take it any longer.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Lord Vishnu suggests ways:</span></div><div>She approached Lord Vishnu for help. Lord suggested that Devtas should pray to Parashakti as she alone has the power to humble Banasura. Accordingly, Gods performed a Yagna to please Parashakti.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Parashakti’s advent from Yagna Fire:</span></div><div>Pleased, Parashakti came out of the fire in the form of a small girl and promised to bring to an end the demonic havoc created by Banasura. She asked them to be patient and wait for the opportune moment for killing Banasura.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Parashakti as Kanyakumari:</span></div><div>Saying this she traveled to the southernmost part of India and started meditating upon Lord Shiva. Eventually, the small girl turned into a teenager. This is how this place came to be known as Kanyakumari. It literally means a virgin teenaged girl.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Lord Shiva gets attracted towards Kanyakumari:</span></div><div>Lord Shiva was attracted to this beautiful form of Parashakti and wanted to marry her. According to the tale, Lord Shiva’s abode was considered at Suchindram, just 15 km from here. Parashakti also gave her nod to marriage and arrangements for this great marriage commenced.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Narada the trickster:</span></div><div>Narada, the shrewd thinker that he is immediately understood what a potential danger in the making it was. If the virgin goddess Kanyakumari gets married then the chances of Banasura getting killed become impossible as he can be killed only by a virgin girl. He started devising ways to stall this marriage at any cost.</div><div>Narada first tried to confuse Parashakti. She asked Devi how sure she is that it was only Lord Shiva and not Banasura in disguise she would get married to. He suggested that Devi should ask Lord Shiva to come with 3 items that were impossible to find in the world. If he can produce them then only she should become sure that the bridegroom indeed was Siva. The 3 things were betel leaf without veins, coconut without eyes and a stalk of sugarcane without the mandatory stump-joints. Lord Siva easily brought these items and the marriage proceedings continued as per schedule.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Lord Siva fooled:&nbsp;</span></div><div>Narada though temporarily stunned had another ace up his sleeve to save Devas and saints. The marriage ceremony was fixed at midnight on an auspicious day. On an appointed day Lord Shiva with the marriage party in toe started his journey from Suchindram to Kanya Kumari`s place. As he was just 5 km from Suchindarm, Narada started playing his tricks. He assumed the form of a cock and crowed, to falsely announce that it is already dawn. Lord Siva fell into the guile of Narada and returned to Suchindram thinking that he was late for the appointed hour of marriage.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Devi Gets Angry:</span></div><div>It is believed that when Shiva did not turn up at the marriage venue Kanya Kumari got really angry. She threw all the food items prepared for the guests. These food items eventually turned into small pebbles and the multi-colored sands. That is why they are found in abundance on the shore of Kanyakumari.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Banasura killed as promised:</span></div><div>Banasura on hearing Kanya Kumari`s beauty decided to marry her. Devi refused him. The demon king insulted by the refusal tried to teach her a lesson. In the ensuing fierce battle, Devi Kanya Kumari slew Banasura with chakra at a place called Mahadana Puram just 4 km north of Kanya Kumari. At the time of his death, Banasura understood his follies and begged for her mercy. Devi is the epitome of compassion she forgave and absolved him of his sins.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Kanyakumari continues Tapas:</span></div><div>The goddess was crest-fallen but did not let her disappointment come in the way of her dedication to Lord Shiva. Till this day she continues to perform austerities with the hope that one day she will unite with Siva. A beautiful temple stands dedicated to Devi Kumari on the shore of Kanyakumari.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Alternate Legend:</span></div><div>Another theory is that king Bharat, the son of king Dushyant had sent his daughter ‘Kumari’ to the southernmost part of his empire to act as his representative and manage the affairs there. As this place was ruled by Kumari it came to be known as Kumari Nadu and the city where she lived was called Kumarinpadi that eventually became Kanyakumari.</div><div><br></div></div>

In fact, it would not be an exaggeration if we say that this activity has assumed almost a ritualistic proportion. If you are in a hotel your sleep would automatically break at around 5.30 am with the sounds of alarm clock all around. Bleary-eyed, you head for the sunrise point or take up a vantage position on the terrace of your hotel building. By 6 am the majestic sight of daybreak unfolds gradually. It is a lifetime experience to observe the image of the night sky metamorphosing bit by bit into various hues of colors. The effect is all the more appealing against the silhouette of fishing boats in the foreground. You can never forget the sun rising above the horizon from the Bay of Bengal. Sunsets are also equally spectacular. In the beach lining the Arabian Sea, it’s a pleasure to wait for the grand finale of the day to bid farewell to the huge red orb in the sky that goes down in a blaze of glory.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Sun and Moon Face to Face:</span>&nbsp;If you happen to be on any Full moon day in the month of April.

Select a proper position away from the crowds and watch the waves beating repeatedly against the rocks, subsiding for a moment, and then gathering its momentum for another attack. Another attraction is the long stretches of multicolored sands you will not find sands of many hues at any other place in India.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Visit the Tsunami affected places:</span>&nbsp;This will not be mentioned in any tourist itinerary, but visiting the Tsunami affected places in Kanyakumari district and seeing the rehabilitation work can make you remember the trail of destruction left by Tsunami on a fateful day of December 2004.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Recharge your spiritual batteries:</span>&nbsp;If you are in Kanyakumari then do not miss the opportunity of recharging your inner spirit. Doing meditation at the Hall at Vivekananda rock or participating at a yoga retreat camp organized by Vivekananda Kendra is bound to have a therapeutic effect on you. Or just gazing at the incessant waves is also bound to leave a soothing effect on you. Bapu had to say this about Capecomorin – “ I am writing this at the Cape in front of the sea where there waters meet and furnish a sight unequaled in the world. For this is no port of call for a vessel like the Goddess, the waters around are virgin. This place is eminently suited for contemplation. I wish I were to stay here forever”.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Visit Wildlife Sanctuaries:</span>&nbsp;Generally, tourists are not aware that in close proximity to Kanyakumari lies KMTR( Kalakkad-Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve).Lying in the evergreen Western Ghats, the site is recognized by UNESCO as one of the 25 important biospheres of the world.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Undertake Knowledge Tours:</span>&nbsp;At Kanyakumari, you will be surprised that it is dotted with many places that do not fall into the regular itinerary of tourists, yet they are of immense value to knowledge seekers. Some of these are Murugan Kuntram a small hillock, the ruins of Kanyakumari-Kadukkarai fort, centuries-old ponds along with NH 47&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Watching the Sea by night:</span>&nbsp;If you do not stay overnight at Kanyakumari you will miss something that you will regret for over. It’s a great experience to watch the sea at night. To see the waves reacting to the pull of the moon is an experience of a lifetime.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Catch a glimpse of the Windmills on the way:</span>&nbsp;This is one of the most charming sites that you would ever encounter. Could you imagine there are some 2000 windmills in and around the road that leads Tiruvenveli to Kanyakumari?</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Ferry trips:</span>&nbsp;It is a nice little excursion to take a ferry ride and cruise along the sea to the little island housing the Vivekananda memorial at a distance of about 400 m from the mainland.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Shop:</span>&nbsp; Shopping can be fun at Kanniyakumari. Government emporiums like Co-optex (9 am to 8 am) near Gandhi Mantap, the Poompuhar Handicrafts Emporium at Sannathi Road give good shopping options. Besides innumerable beachside stalls selling items like sea-shells, cotton saris, palm leaf items, wooden handicrafts, trinkets, etc are found all over Kanniyakumari. Do not forget to buy a pack of colored sea sand this is a specialty here.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Trekking:</span>&nbsp;Kanyakumari is not all water. There are some hills and forests too. A trek to reach the top of Maruthnuval Malai 9 km north of Kanyakumari or a visit to Kalakkad or Pechipparai forests is an adventurous experience that cannot be missed.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: 700;">Horse riding:&nbsp;</span>If you are with children and happen to be in the Beach around sunset then this is one attraction you just can’t fend off. Like most of the Beaches, Kanyakyumari also offers a ride down the Beaches on Horseback.</div></div>
