In 1949  Kanyakumari  became part of the reconstituded Travancore - cohin state. Kanyakumari is 
located in Tamil Nadu, where local people used  not only  'Tamil Languge ' but there  also find many different languages. 

This place is really touch my heart . There we find everything , which allure us to complete our journey , there is nothing to leave without seeing. However I express view but I would like to share

While there find more attractive and religious beauty in this small town . It has all kind of natural eco  -  system, beaches, valleys, evergreen forest in deep  area, rubber tree and clove plantation and there also find surrounding landscape, as well as historical and religious sites found around the district.

                         Kanyakumari. It is different from outside
wall painted with red and white stripes. There we also here a story of Goddess Parvati who
worshiped here as Kanyakumari Devi desire to marry lord Shiva. 



I make sure that Kanyakumari is the only a place in India , where we finds all type of enjoyement and calm places which we imagine . This is the place where we saw people who follow their cuture
and tradition inspite of high education , they are very simple and opstimistic . Moreover , what I
said about food it is very famous not only in south  but all over the country . Their simplicity  and softness inspired me how the people became  rich not only by money but by heart. 
There we finds religious place, uniqe temples of God with myth, place for rest, place for picnic, place for adventure , place for nature love, beaches, different type of stone,  statue b/w the middle of water, we also enjoy waves of sea,  delisious food . 
This is only  the place  where we find glimpes of  old houses, statues and there also we find all 
these thing which we hope to see. This dictum is set for this place is

'' There get all in one place'' .

That is the main reason that every year here visit millions of tourist. There we never felt fatigue
even lot of travelling. This place is unforgatable in my life . Now I find some good changes in me after came  back.



This my personal experence  ,which Ishared with you.  So, I think  one should go there  at least one time , I make sure their dull and anxious mood will be changed into fresh and energetic , new ideas
and thought you realise in yourself.  You also starts to take enjoyment in everything.
