Kerala is a small state situated in the south west of India flanked by the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghat mountains. The area is geographically unique, comprising lush mountain scenery and 41 rivers which are fed by two annual monsoons. The state of Kerala was formed in 1956 by tying up the Princely states of Travancore and Cochin with Malabar, a province under Madras state. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
