Kanyakumari Bhagavathi Amman
10-day Navarathri festival in the Tamil month of Purattasi (September-October). 10-day Vaikasi Visakam during May-June with a Boat Festival. The crowd will exceed ten thousand. During these festival days, the Goddess will be taken in procession both in the morning and evening. On a ninth day, the Goddess will be taken around the water on the western part in a boat beautifully decorated.
Probably, Kanyakumari is the only place in the world where a confluence of three seas could be seen. This is the point where the Indian Ocean in the South, the Arabian Sea in the West, and the Bay of Bengal in the east meet together. Nature’s beauty is in its full form here. During the full moon days, devotees and tourists can enjoy simultaneously the setting of the sun in the west and the rising of the moon in the east.
People use to light lamps in the temple and offer new saris to the goddess besides the usual abishek and archanas. People bathe in the sea and offer Tarpan to the departed ancestors for their salvation.
