Indian replicates Kerala village in UAE with rice field, thatched hut, well and waterfall
A thatched hut in the middle of a rice paddy field. A wooden, thatched gazebo tent on a mound with rock waterfall flowing from its top. A large pond with a traditional wooden boat, fish and water lilies. The whole plot filled with varieties of vegetables and a well, with water, in the centre.
