Kerala is a picturesque state on the southwestern coast of India, bordered by the Arabian Sea on the west and the Western Ghats mountains on the east. Known as “God’s Own Country,” Kerala is famous for its lush green landscapes, serene backwaters, palm-lined beaches, and misty hill stations. The state has a tropical climate and abundant rainfall, which contribute to its rich biodiversity and fertile land.
Kerala has a unique cultural heritage shaped by Hindu, Christian, and Muslim traditions living in harmony. It is renowned for classical art forms such as Kathakali, Mohiniyattam, and Kalaripayattu, as well as vibrant festivals like Onam and Vishu. Malayalam is the official language of the state.
The economy of Kerala is supported by agriculture (especially coconut, spices, tea, and rubber), tourism, and remittances from abroad. The state is also known for its high literacy rate, strong healthcare system, and emphasis on social development. Traditional Ayurveda and distinctive cuisine—featuring rice, coconut, and spices—are key highlights of Kerala’s identity.
