Bioluminescence at Its Beautiful Best at Bangaram Islands in Lakshadweep
There are times when nature exhibits such spectacular beauty that its takes our breaths away. Beaches are things of incredible beauty on their own and when the water glows it is utterly magical. There are very few beaches in India that exhibit bioluminescence and one of them is the Bangaram in Lakshadweep islands.
Bangaram is a tiny island in the shape of a tear drop that doesn't see too much crowd through the year. Filled with palm trees and stunning coasts, it is one serene beach getaway that everyone inevitably falls in love with.
Why does it glow in the dark
Bioluminescence is caused by phytoplankton and algae that inhabit some beaches on Bangaram. Aquatic animals such as the jellyfish get washed up to the edges of the water during high tide and glow like jewels during the nights. This bluish white glow makes for a spectacular view. It is also known as the milky sea phenomenon.
