Cape Festival , Kanniyakumari

The Cape Festival is celebrated extensively in the district of Kanniyakumari Tamil Nadu. The southernmost point of the country is Kanniyakumari, popularly known as "Cape Comorin," and is renowned for its beautiful natural beauty. The festival is embraced with zeal and a joyous atmosphere. Every year during the month of October, a 3-day celebration is organised to commemorate the Cape Festival. Many visitors swarm to the Cape Festival location to see the confluence of the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean, and the Arabian Sea. It is deemed lucky and auspicious to take a holy plunge in the Triveni Sangam (where the three water bodies converge). During the three-day Cape Festival, a number of cultural events are planned. The carnival is distinguished by magnificent cultural performances by musicians and dancers. The sparkling lights surround every monument at night during the Cape Festival. Additionally, community centres host performances of regional dances that may be enjoyed while savouring some of the most delicious Tamil cuisines, like Idli, Sambhar, Vada, Uttapam, and many more from the local food stalls. Every year, lakhs of tourists and local residents flock to the location to take a holy dip in the Triveni Sangam (where the three water bodies converge).
