City of '''[[Kollam]]''' or '''[[Quilon]]''' is known as ''Prince of Arabian Sea'',{{Citation needed|date=November 2018}} situated on the banks of [[Arabian Sea]] and [[Ashtamudi Lake]]. A major portion of [[Kollam Municipal Corporation]] area is occupied by [[Ashtamudi Lake]]. It is the most visited backwater and lake of Kerala, with a unique wetland ecosystem, a palm-shaped (also called octopus-shaped) large water body, next only to the [[Vembanad]] estuary ecosystem of the state. ''Ashtamudi'' means 'eight coned'(''Ashta'' = 'eight'; ''mudi'' = 'coned') in the local language of [[Malayalam]]. This name is indicative of the lake's [[topography]]: a lake with multiple branches. The lake is also called the gateway to the backwaters of Kerala. This lake is extremely famous for House Boat and Backwater Resorts.<ref name="back_water">{{cite web |url=http://www.hotelskerala.com/ashtamudi/facilities.htm |title=Archived copy |access-date=2008-10-14 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080602234840/http://www.hotelskerala.com/ashtamudi/facilities.htm |archive-date=2008-06-02 }} Back water Retreat Ashtamudi</ref><ref name=wwf_Ind>{{cite web |url=http://www.wwfindia.org/about_wwf/what_we_do/freshwater_wetlands/our_work/ramsar_sites/ashtamudi_lake.cfm |title=Archived copy |access-date=2007-11-20 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071217210838/http://www.wwfindia.org/about_wwf/what_we_do/freshwater_wetlands/our_work/ramsar_sites/ashtamudi_lake.cfm |archive-date=2007-12-17 }} Ashtamudi Lake</ref><ref name=kere_nis>{{cite web |url=http://www.kerenvis.nic.in/water/Ramsar%20cites.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2011-02-07 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721171629/http://www.kerenvis.nic.in/water/Ramsar%20cites.pdf |archive-date=2011-07-21 }}</ref>
