Kerala Holidays
Kerala packed with 26 million people in 38,900 sq km in
a narrow strip of land between the Western Ghats and the
beaches of the Arabian Sea, clings like a banana leaf
to the southwestern coast of the Indian peninsula. The
strip of land found a natural defence in the hills that
sealed off one longitudinal section, leaving it open to
access from the sea alone.
 Sea
trade started with the Phoenicians, and in 1000 BC Kerala
was visited by King Solomon's ship that travelled to
'Ophir', in all probability the modern Puvar, south
of Trivandrum. Then followed the traders from Greece,
Rome, Arabia, China, Portuguese who gained right in
1516; the Dutch merchants a stronghold in 1602, and
by 1663 the Portuguese were forced out of the area.
By 1795, however, the Dutch too had to move out, for
the British traders had become the strongest power in
India by that time. Much earlier, the Jews came to Kerala
when they fled the rule of Nebuchadnezzar in 587 BC;
St. Thomas the Apostle came here in the first century
AD; the Syrian Christian were in existence here in the
2nd century AD. When the Portuguese came to Kerala,
they found a thriving Christian community here, but
one that had never heard of Pope.
Green and serene, a paradise, God's own country, an
ethereal vision or a poet's inspiration, a treasure
of infinite beauty - all is said about Kerala. Lush
plantations rise from the sea and sweep the entire state
in verdant glory. Splendid festivals with mysterious
rituals, full of colour, herds of elephants, leading
processions, or in the wild, exotic handicrafts, seafood
preparation that makes Kerala one of the most exciting
destinations of India. Snake-boat races on the backwaters
of Kerala, Elephant March with hundreds of caparisoned
elephants lined up, the martial art, Kathakali - the
spectacular dance drama; Kerala Houseboats Kettuvallam
on back waters and Ayurvedic Herbal Massage and Treatment
that makes this part of India a unique destination.
