| Kanyakumari is the town at the very southernmost tip of India. It's also a holy place because it's waters are where three seas meet, the Indian Ocean in the south, the Bay of Bengal in the east, and the Arabian Sea in the west. It's also a fishing town. |
 |
| There are a few rock islands just off the coast that have temples built on the to tribute philosophers, poets, and great thinkers. It was a fairly rainy and windy day on the water when we took the boats out. |
 |
| This point is the farthest south you can go an still be in India. |
 |
| There were many people swimming in the waters near to where the seas meet. They actually meet a little further out, you can see it in the water because each body of water is a slightly different color. |
 |
| Gandhi's ashes were once held here for a few days until some of them were thrown into the water where the three seas meet. The light only hits the stone on one day a year, his birthday is I remember correctly but it might also be the day of his death. |
