One of the legends says that Parasurama, a mythological figure, created Kerala by throwing his axe from Parasala to Kasargod.

To enhance the feel of Kerala being known as God’s own country, the state is obsessed with festivities. You can see Kerala reveling in the celebrations of one or the other festivals all throughout the year.  Onam, Christmas, Ramdan, Attukal Pongala, Payippad Jalotsavam, Nehru trophy Boat race, Thrissur Pooram, Navrathri, Deepavali etc. are some of the festivals to name a few.

The origin of Kerala could be traced back to Hinduism; followed by Islamism and Christianity.  Today, there are five distinct branches of Christianity in Kerala, the Roman Catholic Church following either Syrian, Latin or Malayalam liturgies, the Orthodox Syrian Church, the Mar Thomas Syrian Church, the Church Of South India and the Nestorian Church. A very few of jain community are still seen in Palakkad.

You could see large number of temples, churches and mosques which adds on to the antiquity of the state. One could still witness temples with goddess as main deity. Animism is another form of worship propitiated in Kerala, in Hinduism.
