We are #Malayalees beyond Politics

Being #Indian & Human is more important than being BJP, being Congress or being Communist.
The pic shows the humanity and friendship despite of political interest and casteism.
That's why we in Gods Own Country.

Geography

              With the Arabian Sea in the west, the Western Ghats towering 500-2700 m in the east and networked by forty-four rivers, Kerala enjoys diverse geographical features. Kerala is divided into three geographical regions: Highlands, which slope down from the Western Ghats onto the Midlands of undulating hills and valleys into an unbroken coastline with many picturesque backwaters, interconnected with canals and rivers. The Western Ghats are nowhere more than 120 kms from the sea.

Seasons

          Bestowed with a pleasant and equable climate throughout the year, Kerala is a tropical land with the coast running down its entire length and the Western Ghats forming a protective barrier against the dry winds from up north. The monsoons (June-September & October-November) and summer (February-May) are the seasons markedly experienced here, while winter is only a slight drop in temperature from the normal range of 28-32°C.

People and Life

          Kerala is one of India's most progressive states in terms of social welfare and quality of life. The State boasts of one of India's highest literacy rates, highest life expectancy and lowest child mortality rates. The literacy rate for women is one of the highest in all of Asia. Enjoying a unique cosmopolitan viewpoint, the people of Kerala, at all levels of society, have greater access to services and opportunities - as well as a greater say in their governance.

History

           Kerala's history is closely linked with its commerce, which until recent times revolved around its spice trade. Celebrated as the Spice Coast of India, ancient Kerala played host to travellers and traders from across the world including the Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Chinese, Portuguese, Dutch, French and the British. Almost all of them have left their imprint on this land in some form or the other - architecture, cuisine, literature.

This is kerala......

            Keralam, the land of kera or coconut, is a never-ending array of coconut palms…sun blanched beaches…kettuvallams over enchanting backwaters… magical monsoon showers…silent valleys vibrant with flora and fauna…misty mountains of the Western Ghats…fragrance of spices, the spice garden of India..…evenings reverberating with the rhythm of a thousand art forms...fairs and festivals... Welcome to Kerala, THE GOD’S OWN COUNTRY.

This is the land ranging from the beautiful forests of Wayanad to the lush backwaters of Aleppey, the sweeping paddy fields of Kuttanad to the rumbling waterfalls of Athirapally and from the stunning hill stations of Munnar to the renowned sun kissed beaches of Thiruvananthapuram. Often termed the ‘Land of Ayurveda’, Kerala has on offer an exquisite combo of demographics, culture and traditions and an array of ethereal festivals laid out across an incredible backdrop of historical and cultural monuments vouchsafes the fact.

This is a place where people are friendly and hospitality is over the top. Where an extra helping (or three) of spicy curries and perfectly cooked fish find their way onto your plate at every meal.  And service with a smile is as much a part of the meal as the naan and rice.

This is a land of education. Of literacy. Where creativity is valued and tradition is respected. Where boys and girls in uniforms walk to school together, laughing and smiling and holding hands.

This is a land of leadership in technology. It’s a place where the world’s first solar-powered airport welcomes passengers from around the world every day. And a place that has been named the first digital state in India. And a place that situated largest Information Technology park in Asia

This is a haven for the lover of dance, drama and music and festivals. This is the land of green-faced Kathakali dancers and Kolkali performers whose dizzying routines are a series of near-misses.

This is a place of peaceful backwaters and gorgeous sunsets. Where lotus flowers blossom in the midst of flooded rice paddies. And a place of Houseboats in backwaters, a vast expanse of tea plantations, winding roads and majestic waterfalls.

This is a land of temple festivals that last for days. Where elephants are decorated and revered. Where the drums are loud and the fireworks are louder and bare feet walk into the temple to pray.

This is a wild land. Where families of tigers roam through villages and elephants bath in the rivers. This is a place where the Kingfisher is both a beer and a bird, and the giant Malabar squirrel makes its home. This is a place where monkeys roam free. This is a place where Koel sings and Peacock dances associated with rain.

                                                     This is Kerala.
