Vivekananda Rock Memorial, Kanyakumari
The Vivekananda Rock Memorial is a monument and popular tourist attraction in Kanyakumari, India’s southernmost tip. The memorial stands on one of the two rocks located about 500 meters off the mainland of Vavathurai. It was built in 1970 in honor of Swami Vivekananda, who is said to have attained enlightenment on the rock. The site is notable for being the meeting point of the Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal, and the Arabian Sea.
