It was opened to the public in 1970 and since then has been a sought after destination by the tourists.
2. Thiruvalluvar Statue
This elephantine statue was erected to honour the eminent Tamil poet and philosopher, Thiruvalluvar and should not be missed during your Kanyakumari trip with Chennai Drive. Standing tall at a height of 133 feet, Thiruvalluvar Statue was opened to the public in the year 2000.
Tourists can take a ferry from the coast to visit the statue which is built atop an island a few meters into the ocean waters.
3. Padmanabhapuram Palace
Made purely of wood, this 16th century palace is a must visit for all the history lovers. It was built by the rulers of Travancore and is a fine example of indigeneous Kerala architecture.
In 1750, king Marthanda Varma dedicated his kingdom to Sree Padmanabha (Lord Vishnu) and thereafter the province was called ‘Padmanabhpuram’. After the capital of Travancore dynasty was shifted from Padmanabhapuram to Thiruvananthapuram, the beautiful Padmanabhapuram palace lost much of its glory.
