<p align="left" style="margin: 0pt 5px"><font face="Trebuchet MS" style="font-size: 9pt"><strong>About Kumarakom</strong></font></p>
<p align="left" style="margin: 0pt 5px"><font face="Trebuchet MS" style="font-size: 9pt">The village of </font><span style="font-weight: bold"><font face="Trebuchet MS" style="font-size: 9pt">Kumarakom</font></span><font face="Trebuchet MS" style="font-size: 9pt"> is a cluster of  little islands on the Vembanad Lake in Kerala, a state in India. Geographically, it is located at 9.35 North and 76.26 East.</font></p>
<p align="left" style="margin: 0px 5px"><font face="Trebuchet MS" style="font-size: 9pt">Kumarakom&#8217;s soil is extremely fertile due to the proximity of a water source, the Vembanad Lake which has resulted in the growth of a wide variety of flora in Kumaralom especially the mangrove and  coconut trees. Furthermore Vembanad Lake is home to several types of marine life exclusively the &#8216;Karimeen&#8217; (Pearl Spotted Fish), the &#8216;Chemeen&#8217; (Prawns) and the &#8216;Konju&#8217; (Tiger Prawns). Kumarakom is also a habitat to several migratory birds which are attracted by the availability of a safe  nesting area provided by the trees and a close source of food and water which is delivered by the Vembanad Lake. The authorities have succesfully attempted to protect the birds and their habitat through the construction of a bird sanctuary which spans 14 acres (57,000 m²).</font></p>
<p align="left" style="margin: 0px 5px"><font face="Trebuchet MS" style="font-size: 9pt">Kumarakom is not entirely a tourist dependent town but also derives a reasonable income from agriculture. The area is populated by mangrove forests, paddy fields and coconut groves. This rich  agricultural environment is mainly irrigated using interspersed waterways and canals. Furthermore Kumarakom&#8217;s perfectly balanced tropical climate poses an advantage to the growth of plants and trees.</font></p>
