A very popular and poetic question in Indian Geography and General Knowledge is: 'Name the place in India which is situated on the confluence of three seas.' The answer is a famous pilgrimage and tourist destination.
If you scoop up water from the three different sides of Kanyakumari beach in clear glass bottles, you can often see three distinctly different shades of blue and green water!
The place situated on the three seas is Kanyakumari (historically known during British times as Cape Comorin).
It is located at the absolute southern tip of the Indian peninsula in the state of Tamil Nadu.
Kanyakumari is geographically unique because it is the exact meeting point (confluence or Triveni Sangam) of three massive bodies of water:
Because of its unique geographical position at the tip of the peninsula, Kanyakumari is the only place in India where you can stand on the beach and watch both the sunrise and the sunset directly over the ocean horizon.
It is also home to the famous Vivekananda Rock Memorial, built on a rock jutting out into this triple-sea confluence.
Kanyakumari is the southernmost point of the **Mainland** of India. However, the absolute southernmost point of the entire Indian territory (including islands) is **Indira Point** in the Great Nicobar Islands.
