The southernmost point of mainland India is Kanyakumari, located in Tamil Nadu. Its latitude is approximately 8∘4′ North. Therefore, rounded to the nearest degree North, the latitude is 8∘ North. This point is significant as it marks the confluence of the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, and the Indian Ocean.
