One of the Ancient Church, here in Kanyakumari, having 153 Feet Height Tower and 8 Feet Golden Cross, is dedicated to the Blessed virgin Mary under the title "Our Lady of Ransam" and was constructed in Gothic style.
The Portuguese Church with its beautiful archaic structure is a major monument of Christian influence. The massive towering spires and stained glass window panes contribute to the overall grandeur of the Church. As you enter the church the simplicity of the interiors, a sharp contrast to the ornate Gothic exteriors is the first thing, which strike you. There are no pews and the congregation sits on the sandy floor of white powdery sand. A tiny cross adorns the altar. A walk down to the fishing jetty behind the church is quite interesting especially if the boats have just come in with their catch. Fresh fish at really dirt cheap prices with a large turtle going for just Rs 500 is incentive enough to walk down to the jetty.

These kids were trying to collect sea shells. The sea was too rough and they were not allowed to go any further in.

This the southernmost point in mainland India. There is no land between this point and Antartica. The statue is of the Tamil poet Thiruvalluvar. The shrine next to it is the Vivekananda Rock Memorial.
