But did we really observed the changes happened to our place of birth / our mother land KANYAKUMARI? The name KANYAKUMARI came from, Kumari Kandam (Lemuria) supposed sunken landmass referred to in the ancient Tamil and Sanskrit Matsya Purana. It is said to have been located in the Indian Ocean, south of present-day KANYAKUMARI district at the southern tip of India. Also KANYAKUMARI is land of anci
ent Tamil literature. Along with the Gulf of Mannar, KANYAKUMARI was a center for pearl fishery and pearl trade emporium too. In 1950 our ancestors fought against the Govts and found this great 1683 sqKm district and 72 KM long coastline named KANYAKUMARI district. KANYAKUMARI is surrounded by hills and seas. It is home of exotic flowers, also a paradise of backwater. The district receives both north-east monsoon and south-west monsoon. Home of unique tri-junction of great water bodies - Cape of Comorin. It is a visual bliss. The district is administrated for the ancient commercial town Nagercoil. This is very little information about our great district. We have to go behind each and every sqcm of our mother land and tell the world KANYAKUMARI is not just all about sunrise, sunset, Gandhi mandapam, Vivekananda rock and Thiruvalluvar statue. KANYAKUMARI is more than that…..
