Sizzling South

An ideal place to meander, Kerala is a very quite and easy place to simply enjoy. Sandwiched between the sharply rising Western Ghats and the Lakshadweep Sea, Kerala, otherwise known as the Malabar Coast, is one of the world's few living swamps. The Southwestern monsoon makes its annual debut here and more than leaves its mark: 41 rivers and thousands of tributaries run through Kerala, condensed in an area never wider than 50 miles.

The name Kerala means "land of coconuts," and the palms covers nearly the entire state from the tropical sun; many call the beach at Kovalam the best in India; visitors can spend a day riding small ferries through the backwater lagoons or watching elephants cavort in the wildlife sanctuaries; the spicy food may be the best vegetarian cuisine on the planet.

Its history is as old as humanity .Through years it has evolved into a beautiful form combining in itself music,drama,literature and religion. Kathakali is one of the oldest theater forms in the world. It originated in the area of southwestern India now known as the state of Kerala. Kathakali is a group presentation, in which dancers take various roles in performances traditionally based on themes from Hindu mythology, especially the two epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.
