Kottayam is a city in the southern area of Kerala.

To the west are the rice paddies of Kuttanad and Vembanad Lake, while to the east are the beautiful Western Ghats. Kottayam translates as"inside of the fort" from the Malayalam terms "kotta" and "akam," respectively. Kottayam takes pride in its beauty, which is characterised by the backwaters, beautiful paddy fields, hillocks, hills, highlands, and large rubber plantations for which Kerala is famous. Kottayam is known as "The City of Letters" because of the large number of Malayalam newspapers, such as Deepika, and Malayala Manorama as well as the number of publishing enterprises that are headquartered there.
