God’s Own Country, is a phrase meaning an area or region supposedly favoured by God, that was first used to describe the Wicklow Mountains, most commonly refers to Yorkshire, and has subsequently been used to refer to several places, including Surrey, Australia, United States, New Zealand, Kerala, Cornwall, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Kerala is a state in south-west India, known as "God's own country", and is one of the popular tourist destinations in India. The phrase however is not an absolute meaning, was adopted as a slogan by the tourism department of the state's government in the 1980s when it was relatively unknown for promoting its tourism activities, in addition to marketing campaigns to boost the industry.
The reference of "God's own country" to Kerala can well be tracked to the event known as Thrippadidanam, by the then ruler Marthanda Varma Maharaja of Travancore.
