Kerala is called God’s own country

for 3 reasons…

 According to Hindu mythology, Kerala was created by Lord Parasurama, an

incarnation of Lord Vishnu by throwing his axe across the sea to create new

land for his devotees to live peacefully. So, Kerala is God's own creation,

hence it is called God's own country!

# 1

Every nook and corner in Kerala you will see Hindu temples,

Muslim mosques and Christian Churches; and unlike many other parts of India, people live happily without communal riots and great

religious tolerance. Hence it is God's own paradise…

# 2

 Nestled between the pristine waters of the Arabian sea on the west and the lush Western Ghats mountains on the east, its intense

network of rivers and lagoons, thick forests, exotic wildlife, tranquil stretches of emerald

backwaters and a long shoreline of serene beaches make it a

traveler's paradise.
