Kerala is a Wonderful place and gem of Incredible India stand amongst the best tourist places in India, from mountains to Beaches, Backwaters to National parks and much more to experience.Gods Own Country for a Reason.
Gods Own place is a phrase meaning an area, region or place supposedly favoured by God, that was first used to describe the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland, and has subsequently been used to refer to Kerala, an Indian state. It is so called because of its lush greenery and breathtaking sceneries. Now Gods Own Country is widely used to refer to the Indian state.Kerala is a state in South India; the phrase was adopted by the tourism department of the states government in the 1980s.Kerala was historically known as Keralam and it is located on the Malabar Coast. Kerala has been a major spice exporter since 3000 BCE, according to Sumerian records and it is still referred to as the Garden of Spices or as the Spice Garden of India.According to the 17th century Malayalam work Keralolpathi, the lands of Kerala were recovered from the sea by the axe-wielding warrior sage Parasurama, the sixth avatar of God Vishnu (hence, Kerala is also called Parasurama Kshetram; The Land of Parasurama). Parasurama threw his axe across the sea, and the water receded as far as it reached. According to legend, this new area of land extended from Gokarna to Kanyakumari. The land which rose from sea was filled with salt and was unsuitable for habitation; so Parasurama invoked the Snake King Vasuki, who spat the holy poison and converted the soil into fertile lush green land. Out of respect, Vasuki and all snakes were appointed as protectors and guardians of the land.Another much earlier Puranic character associated with Kerala is Mahabali, an Asura and a prototypical just king, who ruled the earth from Kerala. He won the war against the Devas, driving them into exile. The Devas pleaded before Lord Vishnu, who took his fifth incarnation as Vamana and pushed Mahabali down to the netherworld to placate the Devas. Lord Vishnu, seeing the devotion of Mahabali, blessed him to be the Indra of the next Manvantara. There is a belief that, once a year during the Onam festival, Mahabali returns to Kerala. It is said that God Vishnu is guarding Mahabalis Kingdom as a mark of respect for his virtues.The Matsya Purana among the oldest of the 18 Puranas uses the Malaya Mountains of Kerala (and Tamil Nadu) as the setting for the story of Matsya, the first incarnation of Vishnu, and Manu, the first man and the king of the region.These Puranic accounts portray Kerala as “God’s own country” or the land favoured by God.The reference of Gods own country to Kerala can also be traced to the event known as Thrippadidanam, by the then ruler Marthanda Varma, Maharaja of Travancore, whereby in 1749–50, the Maharaja decided to donate his realm to Sri Padmanabha (Lord Vishnu) and thereafter rule as the deitys vicegerent (Sri Padmanabha Dasa).Kerala is gifted with one of the most diverse and exotic flora and fauna in the world. It is wedged between the Lakshadweep Sea and the Western Ghats. Western Ghats is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the eight hottest hot-spots of biological diversity in the world. It is sometimes called the Great Escarpment of India. It contains a large proportion of the countrys flora and fauna, many of which are only found in India and nowhere else in the world. Kerala is also a land with diverse landscapes. The serene beaches like the Kovalam beach, cliff-beaches in Varkala, dense evergreen forests of Silent Valley National Park, Nilambur and Periyar, picturesque Athirappilly Waterfalls, the royal backwaters of Alappuzha (or Alleppey), the beautiful tea plantations of Munnar, and lush coffee, cocoa and vanilla plantations of Wyanad and other areas of Malabar make this place verily the Gods abode.In addition to the Flora, there are varied species of exotic animals living here. Bathing animals like elephants at elephant spa in Guruvayur and bird watching are some activities that people do in Kerala to indulge with the fauna. With this gift of Flora and Fauna, its no wonder that Kerala is termed as “God’s own country”.Kerala is also famous for its Ayurvedic treatments, high mountains, gorges, and deep-cut valleys.
