Devikulam is a dainty town, sixteen
kilometers southwest of Munnar. It consist of irresistibly green slopes touching
the sky at a thousand metres and its silent clusters of slender red and blue
gum trees. It has a lovely little lake hidden within the rolling hills.
According to a legend, Sita Devi, the holy consort of Lord Rama, came down
to frolic in the lake and the place came to be spoken about as ’Devikulam’(meaning
the lake of the goddess), ever since.
