The birthday of Kerala, and Keralites celebrate this day on November 1. The state was formed on November 1, 1956 after India got independence from British.
The name Kerala was formed from the term 'Kera' means coconut tree, and 'alam' means land. Keralam- means, the Land of Coconut trees. In the beginning Kerala consisted of three provinces, Travancore, Cochin and Malabar.
Prior to 1956, Kerala was made up of three distinct areas. Malabar, Cochin and Travancore.
Malabar forms the northern territories with Thalassery, Cannanore and Kasaragod with a tiny pocket-handkerchief French possession of Mahe.
On Kerala piravi day, the spirit of Malayalam is dawned in the heart of every Malayalee. It is a proud moment since it is a commemoration of God's own Country.
Kerala is known for its sun-kissed beach and the misty hill stations. The Kerala state is surrounded by Karnataka to the north and northeast, Tamil Nadu to the south and southeast, Arabian Sea towards the west and Western Ghats on the East. Thiruvananthapuram is the capital of the great place Kerala. Kochi and Kozhikode are other major cities in Gods Own Counrty.
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.
Kerala is a 560-km long narrow stretch of land. On one side of Kerala, are the mountains ranging high and on the other side the land is washed by the blue Arabian Sea waters. The land is covered with dense tropical forest, fertile plains, beautiful beaches, cliffs, rocky coasts, an intricate maze of backwaters, still bays and an astounding 44 glimmering rivers. Kerala's exotic spices have lured foreigners to her coast from time immemorial.Kerala now is divided into fourteen Districts with Trivandrum as the State Capital.
