The Ancient History of Kerala is shrouded in the mists of tradition. The most popular legend would have it that the land crust that forms the State was raised from the depths of the ocean. Parasurama,offered severe penance atop the mountain heights. In a mood of profound atonement, the sage heaved his mighty axes into the midst of the distant ocean. The waves foamed and frothed as a prawn-shaped land extending from Gokarnam to Kanyakumari surfaced from the depths of the sea to form the State and hence the sobriquet 'Gods Own Country'. Kerala, the southern-most state of India occupies a unique position on the map of the country.With the southernmost extremity at Parassala about 56 kms up from the lands end of India, it stretches along the shores of Arabian Sea for a distance of about 580 kms with Karnataka State on the North and North­east and Tamil Nadu State on the East and South. It is hemmed between the mighty Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea.Kerala State lies between 8°.17'30" and 12°47'40" north latitudes and 74º 51' and 77°24'47" east longitudes.
