It is known for its stunning natural beauty, with turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and vibrant coral reefs. The islands are spread over an area of about 30,000 square miles, but only 10 of the islands are inhabited, with a total population of around 60,000.
The Lakshadweep islands have a rich cultural heritage, influenced by both Indian and Arab traditions due to historical trade links. The predominant language spoken is Malayalam, and the local cuisine is heavily based on seafood, coconut, and rice.
