enlightenment for Swami Vivekanand, an Indian
philosopher and social reformer. It is believed that in
the year 1892, Swami Vivekanand swam across the sea and
meditated on this isolated
rock island , imparting the spiritual
charisma to him. The memorial has two structures in its
precincts - Vivekananda Mandapam and Sripada Mandapam on
two rocks facing each other. The smaller rock called
'Sripada Parai' is revered as a sacred spot where
Goddess Kanya Kumari did meditation. The rock has an
impression of a human footprint, which is revered to be
that of Goddess Kanya Kumari.

Mandapam
has a Meditation Hall
called Dhyan Mandapam where one can meditate in peace.
In the Assembly Hall or Sabha Mandapam there is a statue
of Swami Vivekanand. The design of mandapam has
different styles of temple architectures of
India
,
instilling a complete Indian essence within
