KERALA Backwaters, INDIA 🇮🇳 LOCAL COMMUNITY House Boat Experience

Hi Everyone! 👋

We are SO excited to bring you our new series where we explore INDIA for the FIRST TIME! 🇮🇳

In this video, we stay on a traditional houseboat in KERALA and let us tell you that it was INCREDIBLE!

After extensive research, we found the perfect community-led, eco-friendly houseboat experience in the picturesque village of Vayala, Kerala. Watch us spend two amazing nights on this houseboat, where we were looked after by amazing local people, who showed us their villages and way of life. In short, it was exactly what we were looking for. This project, run by the local community, supports them directly and offers a serene experience on a pristine, undisturbed lake—without another houseboat in sight. (Link below for their website)

. In Kerala their is world's richest Temple, India, s Oldest Churches, Mosques and Asia's oldest synogue is their.there are different types of Christians in Kerala. Major type of Christian, s in Kerala are Catholic( 3 type of Catholics -Syro Malabar, Malankara Catholic and Latin Catholic ), Syrian Orthadox or Syrian Jacobite, Christian, s, Anglican Church Christians and Protestant, s.Syrian Orthadox or Syrian Jacobite, (which uses west syriac in their prayer's )belongs to Oriental Orthadox Christian family which started in 3 rd century AD was not present in Europe until recent migration, s happened from middle east. The Syro malabar Catholic church uses east syriac litrurgy which is totally different from the latin litrurgy used by Catholics in western Europe.As per belief Christianity was started by St thomas in ad 52 in Kerala which was one of the trading hub at that time . Kerala has Jewish Presence's at that time itself.But we don't have a solid proof weather St Thomas came in Kerala or not. But between 3rd and 5 th century there are proof that christianity was established in india.These christians were under Church of the east centered in Iraq which uses east syriac litrurgy. The Importance's of this Syriac language is it is a dialect of Aramaya language which jesus Christ used to spoke. In Christianity there are mainly three type of Litrurgycal traditions are their 1)latin litrurgy 2)Greek litrurgy 3)Syriac litrurgy.The 3rd litrugical tradition is present now a day's in Kerala and some middle eastern counties only. Actually Porchughese brought Catholic church to Kerala in 15 th century . They try to impose latin litrurgy to Kerala Christian, s When a syrian orthadox bishop named ahntulla was killed by porchughese in chennai while he was comming to Kerala, which eventually ends in the split of church. rejected Catholic belief and joined Syrian Orthadox Church centered in syria.. To bring them back vatican itself takes initiative and made negotiations. At last Vatican tells that you can continue in Catholic church by following syriac traditions. Those who rejected joined Syriac orthadox church.. Kerala Christian, s have their own traditional dressing style(Chattayum Mundum), artform(Margamkali ), etc which are totaly keralite in culture.

Kera means coconut so Kerala means 'land of coconuts 🌴😍

[sayanmandal]

Glad you guys chose this instead of the city, I mean it's good . 0:46 ah not the song it's so annoying even for Indian, that's north Indian folk song couldn't you find a good South Indian Kannada song 😂! Anyway when you travelling go to Nature like North Eastern states, Southern states, Goa, Kerala, or super North Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh for best beach experience the best will be Laxwadeep islands and Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Or desert in the west India . You can do boat safari in house boat in the Sundarbans the world's largest mangrove forest it's a bio diversity hotspot and EUNESCO world heritage site .
