"Lakshadweep" which means 'A Hundred Thousand Islands' is an archipelago consisting of 36 islands, 12 atolls, 3 reefs and 5 submerged banks in the Arabian Sea. These emerald islands, rich in greenery and fringed by silvery beaches overwhelm you with their natural beauty.
The Islands look like emeralds in the vast expanse of blue sea. Varying hues of turquoise blue translucent water surround them. Coral atolls, the matchless marine environment with myriad colours results in a complex interaction of animate and inanimate things. Lakshadweep is built on ancient volcanic formations. It consists of 12 atolls, 3 reefs and 5 submerged banks. The atolls poised on submarine banks harbour 35 islands having an area of 32 sq. Km. Of these, 10 islands are inhabited, namely Agatti, Amini, Andrott, Bitra, Chetlat, Kadmat, Kalpeni, Kavaratti, Kiltan and Minicoy.
Lakshadweep indeed seems to be a place man and nature have conspired to keep,more or less,as they found it. Making do with the spoils of the sun,sand and sea. And above all the coconut which to this day gives its inhabitants everything.
