 | Kerala Tourist Places | |
Kerala is a prosperous state of India, a treasure trove of the enchanting beauty of the nature. The land’s beauty comes from its coconut groves and paddy fields, wide beaches and emerald backwaters, verdant hills and rain forests and the architectural monuments.
The state has a great composite culture, enriched by three main religions – Hinduism, Christianity and Islam. Hinduism is practiced by majority of the population while Christianity figures one fourth of the total population. Islam was introduced by Arab traders in the 7th century. These communities have great contribution to the monumental wealth of the state. One of the great architectural treasures of the state is the beautiful wooden palace at Padmanabhapuram. The 16th century synagogue at Kochi is also worth visiting.
