It is the southernmost tip of the Indian subcontinent and the southernmost city in mainland India and thus referred to as "The Land's End".

Kanyakumari is a popular tourist destination and pilgrimage centre in India. Notable tourist spots include its unique sunrise and sunset points, the 41-metre (133 ft) Thiruvalluvar Statue, and Vivekananda Rock Memorial off the coast.
Lying at the tip of peninsular India, the town is bordered on the west, south, and east by the Laccadive Sea. It has a coastline of 71.5 kilometres (44.4 mi) stretched along these three sides. On the shores of the city is a temple dedicated to the goddess Kanya Kumari (the virgin goddess), after which the town is named.
