Kanyakumari has been a city ever since the Dravidian Sangam Era, from 6th century BC. “The Land’s End” is mentioned in Marco Polo’s and Ptolemy’s chronicles. In local mythology, the city was named after the goddess Kanya Devi\/Kanyakumari, also known as the Virgin Goddess. Legend has it that Kanya Devi was scheduled to marry Shiva but was left alone on the shores of this area when Shiva failed to appear on the marriage day. She sat there for all eternity, transforming everything into stone. The stones on the coastlines are also claimed to represent the grains and uncooked rice that were intended to be prepared at the wedding.
