Kanniyakumari- the tip of the mother land!
January, 2007

From paradise (i.e. Eternity Beach), I traveled south to the very tip of India, at the meeting of the Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean. This place carries great spiritual significance and so is a pilgrimmage site for many many Indians. Sunrise and sunset are particularly significant times of the day. I took these picture early one morning on one of the quieter stretches of this blustery coast.
From the Vivekananda Kendra Ashram, I walked through a few coconut groves and arrived at a small fishing village, where fisherman were preparing to go out on boats and a few devotees were knee deep in the water and fully emersed in puja (prayer).
