  • Palk Strait is a strait between the Tamil Nadu state of India and the Mannar district of the Northern Province of Sri Lanka.
  • South Andaman and Little Andaman are separated by Duncan Passage.
  • 8 Degree Channel (8 degrees north latitude) separates islands of Minicoy and Maldives.
  • 9 Degree Channel (9 degrees north latitude) separates the island of Minicoy from the main Lakshadweep archipelago.

  • The Grand Channel is between the Great Nicobar Islands and the Sumatra islands of Indonesia.
  • The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are also known as the Emerald Islands.
  • The Coco Strait is between the North Andaman Islands and the Coco Islands of Myanmar.
  • The name Lakshadweep in Malayalam and Sanskrit means 'a hundred thousand islands'.
