Kanyakumari Bhagavathi Amman Temple Dress Code
Kanyakumari Bhagavathi Amman Temple History
The temple history is as beautiful as the natural scenery around it. Lord Rama came here first to make way for going to Sri Lanka and he then built a bridge here. It did not work. Then he worshipped the Goddess Bhagavathi and after her advice, he went to Rameswaram. From then on Aadhi sedhu according to the temple history. People who bath at Kanyakumari would recite mantras referring to this.
Kanni Bagavathi performed self punishment by standing on one leg to gain the Lord Suchindram as her husband. The Lord also accepted to marry her. Preparations were made. When the Lord Suchindram did not reach at the allotted time, the Devi turned into a statue destroying all objects collected there. It is a belief that, the sands on the shore in different colors are the objects that turned so by the curse of Devi Bhagavathi.
