Lakshadweep Islands constitute the tiniest Union Territory of India. It is made up of 3 reefs, 12 atolls, and 5 submerged banks. Ten major islands of Lakshadweep are Agatti, Amini, Andrott, Bitra, Chetlat, Kadmat, Kalpeni, Kavaratti, Kiltan and Minicoy. Each of these islands is surrounded by coral sands. The incoming swells of the outer sea are separated from the islands by the fort wall-reef made of massive coral boulders and live corals. These corals are nothing but the assimilation of calcium from the sea water that turns them into reefs.
