KANYAKUMARI

To add to these, the legendary account of falling of lumps of earth in this region from the Sanjivini Mount, when carried by mighty Hanuman to Lanka to saving Lakshmana's life, it turned out to be the fertile soil for the sumptuous growth of priceless medicinal plants.  Besides, the folk-lore embodies many references to Sage Agasthya's preference for settlement here due to abundant availability of herbs, shrubs etc. and as such its importance is on the increase with the passage of time. 

Above all, it is here, on the off-shore rock the Virgin Goddess did penance to gaining powers for asurasamhara.  Abounding in many more such odd and awe-inspiring excellences, this Cape Co Morin - scared region gained one of the most coveted places in the history and legend of our Akhand Bharat.
