About Kanyakumari Lighthouse

The Kanyakumari Lighthouse, located near the confluence of the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and the Indian Ocean, stands tall as a historic and scenic landmark at India’s southernmost point. Built in 1972, the lighthouse offers a panoramic view of the surrounding seascape, including the Vivekananda Rock Memorial, Thiruvalluvar Statue, and the endless stretch of coastline. Painted in striking black and white bands, the cylindrical tower rises to a height of approximately 41 meters (135 feet), guiding ships and boats navigating this coastal region. A spiral staircase leads visitors to the top, where a viewing gallery provides breathtaking views of the sunrise, sunset, and the merging of three seas making it a photographer’s paradise. The lighthouse is not just a functional maritime beacon but also a popular tourist attraction for those wanting to witness Kanyakumari’s natural beauty from a unique vantage point. Managed by the Directorate General of Lighthouses and Lightships, it stands as a symbol of coastal safety and heritage. A visit to the Kanyakumari Lighthouse is a must for those who wish to experience the geography, history, and serenity of India’s southern edge in one remarkable place.
