Lakshadweep islands virtually cover 36 square kilometers of land only, but these tiny islands of the archipelago have unique tribal settlements who lead a unique life. Mostly tourists visit Lakshadweep to have the fun of water sports adventure, frolic in the sandy beaches, explore the marine life, but this Union Territory of India has other tourism attractions also which is hidden from the common eye. Only few islands are inhabited and people live here are quite unique from mainland India though they have some similarity with the Kerala Muslim tribes. 95 % population belongs to Muslim religion and the festivals celebrated here are Muslim festivals. Women play a significant role in the family as some of the tribes have matriarch system.
