India ka Sabse Dakshini Point Kaun Sa Hai? – Janiye Complete Geographical Facts

Bharat ke Dakshini Kinare par kya hai?

Aksar log maan lete hain ki Kanyakumari hi Bharat ka sabse south point hai. Lekin poora sach yeh hai ki Kanyakumari sirf mainland India (मुख्य भूमि) ka last point hai. Agar hum Bharat ke poore geographical area ki baat karein, jisme Andaman-Nicobar Islands bhi include hote hain, to sabse dakshini bindu hai – Indira Point.

Indira Point – Bharat ka Antim Dakshini Bindu

• Indira Point, Great Nicobar Island par sthit hai, jo Andaman aur Nicobar ke southern end par hai.
• Yeh bindu 6°45′10″ North latitude par hai, jo ise Bharat ka sabse south geographical point banata hai.
• Yahan ek lighthouse bhi hai, jise 1972 mein establish kiya gaya tha.
• Yeh area public access ke liye open nahi hota, kyunki yeh strategic aur protected zone mein aata hai.

Is jagah kaafi samay tak logon ko pata bhi nahi tha. 2004 ki tsunami ke baad Indira Point news mein aaya, kyunki yeh point tsunami ke impact se partially doob gaya tha.

Toh Kanyakumari kya hai?

Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu mein sthit hai aur ise Bharat ki mainland ka akhri kona maana jaata hai. Yahan se aap Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea aur Indian Ocean ka sangam dekh sakte hain. Yahan se sunrise aur sunset dono dekhe ja sakte hain, jo ise ek major tourist attraction bhi banata hai.
