Lakshadweep is India's smallest union territory with just 32 km², and one of only three Indian administrative divisions with a Muslim majority (the others being Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh). The name literally means "a hundred thousand islands" in Sanskrit (lakṣa = "lakh" or "hundred thousand" and dvīpa = "island"). It has ten inhabited islands, 17 uninhabited islands with attached islets, four newly formed islets and 5 submerged reefs. As of 2011, Lakshadweep had a population of 64,473. Lakshadweep is one of the most beautiful destinations that you could visit during your holidays with beautiful marine life, relaxed village life, some tourist resorts and cherished mosques. Peak season is December to May, when it is cooler and drier. May to September is the main (southwest) monsoon season, but the October–November northeast monsoon can also be rainy.
