Beautiful Beaches of India- By Mrinale Gupta
......See the coral reefs and the tortoise swimming here. (The Lakshadweep Islands are the only Islands in India which have the Coral Reefs). Watch out the thrill of discovery and the access to the seascape well beyond the bounds of the human discovery imagination. Play with the froth, swim in the layers of waters, feel the touch of the reefs, dip into the sea and the sea animals for yourself. .... ....
