Kerala Reflects an Image of Mangrove Touch

Kerala has a tranquil beauty in the perspective of a cool journey with the effect of mountainous and waterways beauty in India. The late Abu Abraham once famously said that “there is Kerala and there is India”. He wasn’t wrong. The land of Keralaputras or Keram (coconut trees), straddled by the evergreen Western Ghats on one side and the fathomless Arabian Sea on the other, is as different from the rest of India as pepper is to chilli. Trade to the rich port of Muziris (kodungalloor), brought with it first Egyptians, then Romans, later Arabs newly converted to Islam and the Chinese, who introduced the art of fermenting batter, plantation farming and some rather complicated fishing nets. These are still in use in Kerala as Kung Fu is in China, a martial art inspired by Kerala’s Kalaripayattu.

Let’s check the glimpses of Kerala with the Kerala tour packages are as follows:-

1.      Venkattathevar Temple, Kottakal: At least 64 mural paintings are to be found on the walls of the streekovil of the Venkattathevar temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, next to the Kathakali School. You’ll find saints praying to the Lord in one, and Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati in a forest in another. Dividing the murals are paintings of birds, known as pakshi mala (garland of birds) and poovu mala (garland of flowers). Sculptures on the wall recount the story of Arjuna praying for the Pashupati Astra.

2.      Teak Museum, Nilambur: The first teak museum in the world tackles the unlikely subject of the history and life of teak trees. Apart from showing you ‘the moods of a teak tree’- as an exhibit is charmingly named- the museum also presents such fascinating trivia  as the age of the oldest teak tree in the world, still going strong in the Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary. Entry fee for Adults Rs./20 Children Rs./10.

So; if you wish to have a religious journey, then come and join the Kerala with the Kerala tour packages.
