The backwaters of
Kerala, with only
waterways in the
name of road network,
capture the fascination
of worldwide visitors
for its simple yet
exotic sightseeing
prospects on a cruise
down the backwaters
in a houseboat.
The Kerala houseboats
that cruise the
backwaters are giant
country crafts termed
“kettuvollams”
in the local language,
which means boats
of knots. An entire
clan of artisans
constructs these
boats meticulously
and skillfully by
tying huge planks
of jack wood together.
Remarkably, the
boats do not use
even a single nail
in their making.
Ayurveda
is a perfect ancient
science of life; the
word Ayur literally
means life and Veda
the science or knowledge.
Ayurveda briefly explains
the knowledge of the
do's and don'ts one
has to follow, which
favours the well being
of each individual
to lead a healthy,
happy, comfortable
and advantageous life
both physically, mentally
and socially. Ayurveda
also emphasizes that
prevention is better
than cure.
