Indira Point, located at 6° 45' N latitude on the Great Nicobar Island, is the southernmost point of land in India. It was formerly known as Pygmalion Point and was renamed by the late Rajiv Gandhi in honor of his mother during a visit to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. This point marks the extreme southern tip of Indian territory.

A significant part of Indira Point was submerged by the sea following the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. Since then, the sea has been gradually retreating toward its original position. Indira Point is also known as a favored nesting site for various exotic sea animals, highlighting its ecological importance.
