Explanation

Kochi (Cochin) in Kerala is known as the Queen of the Arabian Sea because it was a major spice trading center on India's west coast for centuries. Its natural harbor made it a strategic port for traders from across the world. Mumbai is also on the Arabian Sea but is more commonly known as the Gateway of India.
