Varkala
Varkala is a seaside tourist resort and spa. A small town 55km north of Thiruvananthapuram, it is also a significant religious place for the Hindus. According to a legend, sage Narada was approached by a group of holy men who confessed to having sinned. Narada threw his valkkalam (the bark of tree which the mythical sages used to wear) into the air, and the place where it landed was consequently named Varkala.
