Solution

As India is surrounded by Bay of Bengal on the east and Arabian Sea on the west, monsoons in India arrive as Bay of Bengal branch and Arabian Sea branch.
The Arabian Sea Branch of the south-west monsoon first hits the Western Ghats of the coastal state of Kerala, thus making this area first to receive rain from the south-west monsoon. This branch of the monsoon moves northwards towards western side.
