Sri Mayamma memorial behind Kanyakumari Temple is the best place to visit in Kanyakumari. Initially none knew she was greatest avathooth or divine incarnate since she was seen wearing torn clothes, uncouth in appearance and wandered by the sides of seashore in the district of Kanyakumari. She was always seen resting, walking or sleeping on the sand bed of the seashore, unmindful of heat, rain or even inclement weather, but always found surrounded by pack of dogs. It is always said that those followed by the pack of dogs are in the lineage of Lord Kala Bhairava as pack of dogs always accompanied the Lord. The dogs by the sides of Lord Bhairava represents mankind who are guarded by the Lord. When some one offered food she ate it after sharing with the dogs around her, else remained uncared for food even if food is unavailable to her for many days. Water, food or other eatable were no matter to her as she had not shown interest on them or even displayed tiredness when she remained without food and water for several days. People have seen her sitting over the rocks of the seashore or even rocks inside the sea. Suddenly she would jump into the ocean, collect sea moss, filth and waste, pile them on seashore, lit fire to them and sat before it for hours. It was strange sight to see her collecting sea moss and debris and lit them to fire without match sticks. But those who follow the rituals in spiritual field have always seen the Sidha Purush or sanyasi and sages in penance lit fire and perform yagna for some cause. It could be that Mayammaa too was engaged in one such an act for some unknown reason only known to her.
