A 77-meter-long and 10-metre wide glass bridge connecting the Vivekananda Rock Memorial and the 133-feet high Thiruvalluvar statue off the coast of Kanyakumari was inaugurated by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Monday.
The glass bridge, said to be the first such one in the country, offers tourists an enchanting view of the monuments of the two savants and the sea around.
"It provides a thrilling experience of walking above the sea," a tourist official said.

The bowstring arch glass bridge has been designed to withstand the saline breeze.
A laser light show was held at the Thiruvalluvar statue.
