Vivekananda Rock

Vivekananda Rock

Vivekananda Rock Memorial is a significant pilgrimage and tourist destination located in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, at the southernmost tip of India, where the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean meet. The memorial is dedicated to Swami Vivekananda, the renowned Hindu monk and spiritual leader who meditated on this rock in 1892 before his famous journey to Chicago for the World's Parliament of Religions. The memorial comprises two main structures: the Vivekananda Mandapam and the Shripada Mandapam. The Vivekananda Mandapam, built in 1970, is a majestic structure designed in the architectural style of Hindu temples, featuring a blend of traditional Kerala and Dravidian styles. It houses a statue of Swami Vivekananda and a meditation hall where visitors can sit quietly and soak in the serene atmosphere.
