ALAPPAD: Presenting a breathtaking contrast of the blue Arabian Sea on one side and a vast expanse of golden-yellow blooms on the other, the stunning sunflower field at Srayikkad in Alappad has emerged as a major local wonder. Cultivated under the initiative of the Mata Amritanandamayi Math near the Pachemeshwaram Temple in Srayikkad, this mesmerizing half-acre project proves that nature and agriculture can blend seamlessly to create pure magic along the coastal black-sand terrain.
Adding to its popularity, the Scout and Guide unit members of Azheekkal Government High School recently visited the vibrant sunflower farm. While sunflower fields were traditionally associated mostly with neighboring Tamil Nadu, this blossoming attraction right in their backyard has now drawn wide attention following the students’ visit.
Providing a refreshing visual treat for the eyes and mind, the visit offered students a novel experience. Smt. Krishnamma, who meticulously oversees the maintenance of the farm, interacted with the children and shared valuable insights regarding the significance of sunflower cultivation.
The educational field trip was led by teacher and Scout Master Mohammed Salim Khan, teacher and Guide Captain Sujaraj, school counselor Sumitha Mathew, and BRC Special Educator Naseera. With the radiant sunflower fields now open to visitors, travelers no longer need to travel far to witness a golden bloom by the seaside.
