A Photo Feature on Kerala Then And Now.
The word Kerala is so famous for its lush green beauty. It really attracted the whole world.
A season (September – October) for the tourists to visit, especially this was the season Neelakurinji (Strobilantheskunthianus), the lovely flowers bloom once every twelve years on the hillside of Munnar. This is one of the prime viewing spots for tourists.
Some of the pictures Neelakurinji are given below – Image courtesy: Kerala Tourism.

But sad to note that the recent heavy flood (happened in 100 years) washed away most of its eye-capturing beauty.
Yes, literally it happened on the 14th and the following days of August 2018.
Many lost their life savings in the heavy flood. Yes, a lifetime earnings just went away with flood water.
Helplessly the victims looked at it. No human hands could save it, it just washed away literally before their eyes.
In this photo feature, we would like to share some of the lovely scenes then and after the flood.
If anyone would like to share their experiences with any photos/videos etc you are most welcome to share. Please contact me so that we can incorporate your photos/videos with all due credits.
