KanyaKumari is named after Goddess KanyaKumari. The KanyaKumari temple, is located at the very point where the three water bodies (Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea) meet. What is interesting to note is the colorful sand that surrounds the temple premises and the beaches. According to legend, Goddess KanyaKumari was set to marry Lord Shiva, but he failed to show up on the wedding day. As a result, all the food cooked for the wedding remained unused and in course of time, turned into stone. The local people consider the different colored grains on the sand here to be the grains of the wedding.
