Great tourist destination for Water sports, Fishing etc. Virgin, Fragile eco-system. A unique and quiet getaway destination. History There are many different theories about how the Lakshadweep Islands were formed. The most prominent and accepted one among them is given by the famous English evolutionist, Sir Charles Darwin in 1842. He was of the opinion that below the reefs in the base of these islands is a volcanic formation. Over this formation the corals get settled and get formed in the shape of fringing reefs. Further they get turned into barrier reefs and afterwards atolls because of geological submersion of the volcanic base. Islam made inroads into local Lakshadweep culture sometime in the 7th century. St. Ubaidulla of Mecca, after he dreamt that prophet Mohammed wants him to visit Jeddah, took a ship and traveled to distant places. On his journey, he sailed near the small islands of Lakshadweep and his ship was wrecked by a storm. He saved his life by floating on a plank. He spend his night ashore the Amini Island. Afterwards, he stayed here and began to propagate Islam in these islands. According to legends, people in small settlements began to line in the islands of Kavaratti, Amini, Andrott and Kalpeni. Later they moved on to the other islands of Agatti, Chetlat, Kiltan and Kadmat. |
