 On the sea side of Kanyakumari is built a large, beautiful memorial dedicated to Swami Vivekanand. Here Swami Vivekanand did his meditation. The memorial was built in 1970. It houses a huge metal statue of Vivekananda. To reach this memorial one has to take the ferry services or boats plying between the rock memorial and the mainland. The merger of three seas- Bay of Bengal, Arabian sea and Indian ocean can be seen from these rocks. While looking at the horizon, one gets a feeling that nature has sprayed various colors on water. Though the structure is well constructed, it has been very badly maintained.
