Self meets Amma

I went to Trivandrum to install a software. When I got some extra time, I went to the Shankhumukham beach.


The Shankhumugham Beach is the favourite beach coming to watch sunsets. This beauteous beach is proximate to the Trivandrum International Airport and the famous Veli Tourism Village.

Very near to my client's place is the Ashram of Amma. I met her yesterday.
She was giving a spiritual lecture at her ashram. It was a good spiritual
experience.

An indoor recreation club, the statue of a mermaid, the matsya kanyaka, are some of the features of this park. The giant statue of the mermaid is a 35 m long sculpture. A National Park nearby is an added attraction.

The beach sands are of reddish yellow hue.

The nearest Railway Station, Trivandrum Central, is just 7 km away. The Trivandrum Airport is just a drive away.

This beach is well maintained and one can glimpse the beauty of Nature..

This beach is part of Kerala's 600 km coastline. Tamil Nadu has 1000 km coastline and Gujarat 1600 kms. India has 7500 km coastline. Peninsular India has 5500 kms of coastline, while India's islands, Nicobar, Andamans and Laccadives have 2000 kms of coastline !


Hotles to stay during your trip to Trivandrum, the official capital of Kerala.
