Lots of section in this article sound more like an advert of a travel website. The section 'Our lady of Ransom Church' sounds very dramatic & defiantly violates NOR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abhikohli ( talk • contribs) 09:11, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
I started to rewrite the Pilgrimage section but it's too confusing for this foreigner. Someone who understands the religious nuances should break up that long paragraph into smaller, more coherent pieces. I hope that such a reorganization will answer my questions below:
One link is to Devi Kanya Kumari, which appears to be the name of a goddess, not a temple. Is she the same as Shakti? ( Bhagavathy is another article, which may or may not be relevant to this passage.)
Shuchindram is a nearby town noted for the Thanumalayan Temple, dedicated to Trimurti, not to the Devi. If she also has a temple in Suchindram, then we ought to say so, rather than suggesting that Shuchindram is the name of the Devi's temple.
I can see that Kanyashram is a compound of Kanya and ashram, but what's Baalaambika? Is there an article?
What are theertham? Is there an article?
Is the second half of this sentence necessary?
Is the worship of the child-goddess relevant to the method of ablution? If not, that sentence belongs nearer to Devi Kanya Kumari, I think. Is Pitr Tarpan related to Sanyasa?
Which temple is meant here?
Are these two sentences related? Is "liked" a typo for "linked"? Would a summary of the story about the coloured sands be too long?

More grammatical but still puzzling. Do people come to the beach and say "Wow, look at the colours in the sand — it's like a mythological story" ?
Does multicoloured sand figure in a specific legend? — Tamfang ( talk) 19:22, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
The section Pilgrimage could be merged into Mythology and legends to reduce repetition. (The resulting section should then be renamed.) — Tamfang ( talk) 01:09, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
The Geography section says that the average elevation is 0 metres. Kanyakumari is right on the coast, and it makes sense that its average elevation is 0 m above sea level. But, the information table at the top right of the page says the elevation is 300 m above sea level. This doesn't make sense. Even Nagercoil (according to the Wikipedia page for Nagercoil) is at an elevation of only 40 m above sea level. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arunisaac ( talk • contribs) 08:57, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
The "Our Lady of Ransom"-church is quite famous and should definitely be mentioned in the article. Not only hindu-pilgrims come to Kanyakumari, but also christians. The population of Kanyakumari is mainly christian, so why is the article so hindu-centered? Also i miss a list of religions in this town, since there are also muslims there. -- 93.214.234.2 ( talk) 20:41, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
Potala Palace links here, claiming the mountain celebrated in Tibetan and Chinese Buddhism as a home of Guanyin is one of those in the nearby hills. If so, that should be mentioned and more details given. If not, it should still be mentioned and possible explanations for the confusion offered. — LlywelynII 08:08, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
I replaced the religious data of Kanyakumari district with the data for Kanyakumari town - for obvious reasons (since this is the article about the town and not about the district, which has its own article). The source stays the same. If you want to verify the data just look for the town code 803939 (Kanniyakumari (TP)). Gugganij ( talk) 21:32, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
