2. Architectural Wonders Of Kumari Amman Temple
The next most memorable visit of our trip to Kanyakumari from Delhi was Kumari Amman temple. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Parvati. The goddess loved Lord Shiva and meditated for years to marry him. Our guide told us the entire story behind this temple and we glanced pilgrims offering homage to the goddess. This mystic place exhibits the architecture of the Pandya and Chola dynasty. The later alterations were done by Vijayanagara and Nayaka rulers. The beautiful paintings and carvings of Navaratri Mandapam reflect the brilliance of the workers who worked day and night to create this masterpiece.
3. Towering Statue Of Thiruvalluvar
We also visited the Thiruvalluvar Statue in Kanyakumari. As one can not miss out witnessing this one of the tallest statues of India here, we headed to this spot. It is located atop a small island quite near to the confluence of the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and the Indian Ocean. Thiruvalluvar was a famous ancient Tamil saint and this place gives you an opportunity to witness his contributions to the literature. The statue here was sculpted by V.
