of the the country's population. In 1956, when the states were reorganized,
Kerala was formed after tying the princely states of Travancore and Cochin with
Malabar, a province under Madras state.

History of Kerala
Kerala is truly the undiscovered India. It is God's own country and an enchantingly
beautiful, emerald-green sliver of land. It is a tropical paradise far from
the tourist trial at the southwestern peninsular tip, sandwiched between the
tall mountains and the deep sea. Kerala is a long stretch of enchanting greenery.
The tall exotic coconut palm dominates the landscape.

Art & Culture
Spectacular visual effects and stunning music are hallmarks of Kerala's performing
arts. In a land which cannot boast of monumental architectural feats, unlike
many other parts of India, the performing arts, both individually and collectively,
make up for the lost magnificence. No other State in India can match the grandeur
and creativity of Kerala's performing arts. The classical and ritual arts of
Kerala have always enjoyed a rich patronage, from the former kings who ruled
the state to the latter day democratic governments.

Kerala Backwaters
The backwaters of Kerala are what have given it the sobriquet "God's Own
Country". As you meander through these on a houseboat you drift into a

The huge coconut trees provide an apt backdrop and perhaps you can even eavesdrop
on the strains of an oarsman's song.
