The landmark story

The Vivekananda Rock Memorial stands on a rock about 500 metres off Kanyakumari, India's southernmost tip. It was built in 1970 in honour of Swami Vivekananda, who is said to have attained enlightenment on the rock, and looks out on the meeting of the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean.
