Have you heard of a place called Kanyakumari? It is a cape at the southernmost end of India. We sometimes say that Himalayas are the crown of mother India; so we can regard Kanyakumari as her holy feet.

At Kanyakumari there is a famous old temple. It stands on the southernmost point of land, very near the sea. Pilgrims bathe in the sea and go up into the temple for worship.
