The tsunami has generated by the Indian ocean earthquake on 2004 inundated much of its area that partly damaging the lighthouse subsided 4.25 m in the tsunami. As a result of this subsidence, the coast retreated and the sea permanently came inwards. The lighthouse has been made functional since then.
The base of the lighthouse was 5 m above sea level when constructed on 1972 to until the tsunami. After the tsunami, the sea rose and the base was less than a metre above the sea level showing a subsidence of sea floor by over 4 metres. It has observed that the sea is slowly starting to retreat back partly to its original position and the subsidence has decreased as the ocean floor is slowly bouncing back partially
This southern tip of the Great Nicobar island, "Pygmalion Point", is the southernmost point of India. Though the "Vivekananda Rock" of Kanyakumari is the southern most point of Indian mainland, the "Pygmalion Point" is actually the southernmost point of the country as it is situated at a lower latitude and closer to the equator 6*,45 N. After the demise of Mrs. Indira Gandhi, this point was named "Indira Point".
