And here for the second part

I along with thousands of tourists on the ramp, on the shore and terraces of all the buildings from where this part of Kanyakumari was waiting eagerly to see the first sunrays of the day far away in the horizon and

Please Read on,

Finally far away the colors has started changing indicating the appearance of sun to the hundreds of people standing at different places which includes the terraces, balconies of hotel building facing the east. A very small spot - golden in color had seen came out just above the sea over some clouds which slowly grown into semicircular sphere glowing with golden rays all around making everyone's eyes widen by seeing the beauty unveiling in the horizon just above the level of sea.

DIFFERENT MOMENTS OF SUNRISE CAPTURED

Gradually the size and golden effect has increased and became a full circle but still human eyes could directly focus on the sun without any difficulty. It took almost 10 minutes for the sun to come out from its shell, but no one might had changed their eyes to anywhere fearing the loss of those beautiful scene in between, experiencing the unadultered process of universe in its most perfect location, luck has been on the side of everyone present on the day for entire duration.

THE GOLDEN RAYS SPREAD OVER THE SEA

The horizon was still looks golden in color so is the sunrays that falling on the huge structure of Vivekananda rock, the great poet's statue and the Kanyakumari temple throwing another perspective post card look that none of the most modern professional camera would never been able to catch the exact color combination and frame. It was an experience that could not wish for more.

VIVEKANANDA MEMORIAL AND THIRUVALLUVAR STATUE IN THE SEA

There was one more historically important place to visit after returning back to the hotel, having some rest and getting fresh for the next destination. It was a visit to Vivekananda Rock Memorial, literally lies in the sea. Is it an island, not sure but a huge rock in which the whole memorial buildings had been constructed. Travelling in a boat is the only option where the shipping corporation had made good arrangements for ferrying travellers to and fro.

HOW THE SEA WAVES LOOKS IN VIEW FINDER OF A CAMERA

Despite it is a short travel to the memorial, journey through the oscillating waves was quite interesting and those being lucky to sit in the window side could be able to catch some fine portrait looks outside.

VIVEKANANDA MEMORIAL

The memorial is quite big with a full sized statue of Vivekananda at the particular space where he believed to be Sitina rock for meditation before leaving for his famous Chicago speach. A place below this was perfectly arranged for meditation for those whoever interested which is quite dark, always silent even from the sound of waves hilting the rock.

INSIDE VIEW OF MEMORIAL

Spending some time inside this room listening to the of "Ohm" that sounds like coming from infinity was definitely a soul serching moment for few minutes. Apart from these, a Shripada mandapam where the foot marks of Devi Kanyakumari is preserved safely which is another attraction

THE STATUE AS SEEN FROM MEMORIAL

The statue of Thiruvalluvar also can be seen very closely from the boundary of this memorial. Two book stalls and rainwater harvesting reservoirs were also arranged within this structure. There is no time limit for anyone to return back and there may be long line before getting into the return boat.

That's all about a place where the long beach will provide some rare and unforgettable experience comparing with the other famous ones where a stroll on the sea shore and bath on the waves would probably remain the only activities.
