"Tropical Paradise Of Waving Palms"

As per Hindu mythology, Kerala was created by Lord Parasurama, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu by throwing his axe across the sea to create new land for his devotees to live peacefully. From then Kerala is referred to as God’s own creation!

Kerala is located on the Malabar coast of India. This state is wedged between the Western Ghats and the Lakshadweep Sea. It is the tropical paradise of waving palms and wide sandy beaches, also known for its backwaters, mountains, coconuts, spices and art forms like Kathakali and Mohini Attam. The state has maximum media exposure in India with newspapers publishing in nine languages mainly English and Malayalam. Kerala is one of the most prominent tourist destinations in India and is even considered the most literate state.

Kerala was also named as one of the "Ten Paradises of the world" and "50 places of a lifetime" by a magazine called the National Geographic Traveller. Kerala is a world away from the frenzy of India's elsewhere, its long fascinating backstory illuminated by historically evocative cities like (Cochin) and (Trivandrum). Kerala has three distinct seasons Midwinters. Summers and Monsoons. Kerala is a land of diverse religions.
