About Lakshadweep

Hi everyone, today i will update you about  Lakshadweep and its islands.

Lakshadweep islands were earlier  called as  "laccadives".

The word Lakshadweep means one hundred thousand islands, but i guess there are  around 30 plus.

Among the islands, only ten are inhabited, the major ones being Kavaratti,Agatti,Androth and Minicoy.

Bangaram, an uninhabited island once had a resort which was recently shutdown due to legal issues.

Each of the major islands are about 4Sq.km each, other being considerably smaller.

Kavaratti is the capital of Lakshadweep islands.

The total population in Lakshadweep islands is about 65,000 and kavaratti island has a population of about 12,000 people with 40% being Non-islanders working here.

Language spoken is Malyalam, Hindi is understandable by about 50% of the population.

 Here i am uploading a few pictures of the island 

                       

               

                                      

About Author... :) :)

Hello everyone, I am Alekya and this is my first blog. I am really excited about being part of a blog. First, let me introduce my self.

Well, I am recently married and since have shifted to "Lakshadweep" as my husband works here. I knew Lakshadweep islands only from map pointing during geography lessons at school. Anyway, there are many islands here but we live in Kavaratti Island ( BTW it is the capital of this tiny union Territory) and this is the best place on earth. 

This blog also gives information on what to get where @ kavaratti( Based on my few months here) for people moving to this place by any chance. 

Welcome to my blog :) :) :)
