Devikulam is a dainty town, 16 km south-west of Munnar. It consists of irresistibly green slopes touching the sky at a thousand mt and it's 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).
