The peaks of the sahyas, the green lagoons and the verdant undulating landscape make it “God’s own country’. The sun-blanched beaches make it another paradise on earth. The colourful boat races on the lagoons and lakes including the world famous Nehru Trophy Boat Race, the classical pantomime dance forms like Koodiyattom and Kathakali and folk dances like Oppana adds on to the grandeur that is Kerala. The women of Kerala actively participating at grassroots level developmental activities through their collectives called Kudumbasree are another magnificent feature that distinguishes Kerala.
