🇮🇳 FACTS ABOUT INDIA 🇮🇳
Ooty is in the Nilgiri hills, meaning the “blue mountains”, so named due to the Kurunji flower which blooms every twelve years giving the slopes a bluish tinge.
The name Ootacamund had been in use since 1821. Over time, it got shortened to Ooty, by which it is known world over. In 1972, the name was abruptly changed to ‘Udhagamandalam’. The change of name had since been a source of confusion and inconvenience for tourists.
