Rice and other grains meant for the wedding feast remained unused; as the legend goes, the uncooked grains turned into stones. Some believe that the small stones on the shore today, which look like rice, are indeed grains from the wedding, never solemnised. Kanya Devi is now considered a virgin goddess who blesses tourists who flock the town, her temple located in Kanyakumari is a holy shrine. According to another Hindu legend, Lord Hanuman dropped a piece of earth as he was carrying a mountain with his life-saving herb, Mrita Sanjivani, from the Himalayas to Lanka during the Rama-Ravana war; this chunk of earth is called Marunthuvazh Malai "hills where medicine lives".
