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.
