Ambattu Kadavu in Kottayam has been covered in a bright pink carpet making it a sight to behold. Water lilies or better known as Aambal in Malayalam have bloomed in a 100-acre field in Ambattukadavu at Panachikkad in Kottayam attracting nature lovers. A similar spread has been laid near Panachikkadu Saraswati Temple in Malarikkal village on Kumarakom. With the arrival of these pink beauties, Kottayam has become the centre of tourist attraction in Kerala. The place has been receiving tourists not just from the state, but across the country. The stunning flowers bloom in water for six months in a year, but will be weeded out later some time as it is farming land.

The rare attraction has also brought together a number of water birds adding to the beauty of the sight. Flower or Bird?
