(Image: Instagram - @knishkk) Bangaram, a small uninhabited island in Lakshadweep, has drawn fresh attention after an Instagram reel by travel filmmaker Kanishk Gupta showed its turquoise lagoons and the glow that appears in its waters at night. The post has put one of the archipelago's tiny coral islands back in the spotlight. About LakshadweepLakshadweep, formerly known as the Laccadives, is India's smallest union territory by area, a group of about 36 islands and islets in the Arabian Sea off the Kerala coast, of which only around ten are inhabited. Kavaratti is its administrative capital. Most of the islands are low coral formations barely above sea level, which is why the surrounding lagoons and reefs define the landscape. The calm shoreline offers a glimpse of the destination’s natural beauty. (Image Credits: Instagram - @knishkk) Bangaram is officially classified as uninhabited. Apart from a small number of staff and visitors at any given time, no one lives there permanently. The wider Lakshadweep islands are home to communities that depend mainly on fishing and coconut cultivation. Local residents describe themselves as children of the sea, reflecting how closely daily life is tied to the water. A quiet stretch of sand meets the clear blue waters.
