Top Reasons To Visit Lakshadweep Islands

4. Tryst with a Historical Mosque

Set in the capital of Lakshadweep, Kavaratti, the 17th-century Ujra mosque is said to have been built by Sheikh Mohammad Kasim, who introduced the practice of ratheeb (a religious performance to invoke blessings) on the island. His grave is located in the mosque complex and is a place of pilgrimage for people from all the islands. Legend has it that the ornate ceiling of the simple yet stunning mosque was carved out of a single piece of driftwood.

5. Island Hopping

Let the sun, sand and surf cast a spell on you as you go island hopping in Lakshadweep. The tiniest union territory of India, Lakshadweep has 36 islands, of which 10 are inhabited. Take some walks on these picturesque islands, mingle with the locals, peer at corals emerging from their underwater abode at low tide, and frolic in the warm waters of the Arabian Sea.
