Gifted with nature's beauty
Kerala, better known as Gods Own Country having seashores with blue waves mostly calm but sometimes dangerous, but with lots of variety fish. Also known for neat and calm beaches with full of green groves of coconuts.
Kerala backwaters are famous globally with house boats and country crafts moving along. Lot of rivers and countless rivulets flowing through hills and paddy fields of the midland, emptying themselves into the backwaters. And the far off dark blue mountains. An occasional boatsman rowing and singing with cargo or people. A tiller or a mower and women planting seedlings in the fields & women at work spinning coir. Dense plantations further eastward. Kerala is all these and more.....
