Answer:
Lakshadweep is a group of islands in the Laccadive Sea, 200 to 440 km (120 to 270 mi) off the southwestern coast of India. The archipelago is a Union Territory and is governed by the Union Government of India. They were also known as Laccadive Islands, although geographically this is only the name of the central subgroup of the group. Lakshadweep means "one hundred thousand islands" in Sanskrit and Malayalam.

Answer:
it is said that Lakshadweep is formed from the skeletons of these polyps, called corals. These coral islands were formed due to the accumulation of corals on the volcanic tops of the ridge of the Indian Ocean, which then sank below the surface many millions of years ago supposedly because of a rise in sea levels
