Vivekananda Rock Memorial
The Vivekananda Rock Memorial, located in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, is a monument and popular tourist attraction at India's southernmost tip. Built in 1970, the memorial stands on one of two rocks situated about 500 meters off the mainland of Vavathurai. It was constructed to honor Swami Vivekananda, who is said to have attained enlightenment on the rock.
The memorial features two main structures: the Vivekananda Mandapam and the Sripada Mandapam. The Vivekananda Mandapam houses a life-sized bronze statue of Swami Vivekananda in his 'Parivrajak' posture, while the Sripada Mandapam is believed to have the imprint of Goddess Kanyakumari's feet. The rocks are surrounded by the Laccadive Sea, where the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean, and the Arabian Sea meet, offering stunning views and a serene atmosphere.
The memorial is a significant spiritual and cultural site, attracting visitors from all over the world.
