The islands are located in the Arabian Sea, off the coast of Kerala, India. They are a group of about 360 islands, of which only 10 are inhabited. The islands are known for their white-sand beaches, clear blue waters, and coral reefs.<\/p>\n<p>The Act also provided for the establishment of a new Union Territory of Lakshadweep, with its headquarters at Kavaratti.
