A state with an amazingly varied topography ranging from the deep green of the dense forests to stark white at the salt plains. Its 1660-kilometre coastline is home to some of the most unique marine species, and geographical locations at the state make it an ideal matrix, a melting pot of a vast variety of culture, people, places, and history due to eons of migratory influences. Along with all the migrations came various ritual practices, cuisines, styles of dresses, fairs and festivals, and celebrations, all of which were amalgamated and became a part of what this amazingly diverse state has to offer.
