Tourist Attractions in Kerala
Kerala is a state on the southwestern coast of India. The long coastline of Kerala has encouraged global maritime contact, which is evident in the diverse architecture and overseas cultural influences. Kerala has maintained a unique cultural identity with customs, arts and festivals that continue to thrive.
Some of the Tourist Attractions in Kerala are:
Alappuzha : Alappuzha or Alleppey is a market town located along a network of canals and surrounded by coconut trees. Alappuzha is a one of the better starting points for exploring the backwaters. The famous Nehru Trophy Snake Boat Race takes place annually in August on Vembanad Lake in Alleppey. Each boat has a crew of up to 100 rowers and is avidly watched by thousands of spectators. The Mullakal Devi Temple in Alappuzha participates in a festival each December that is celebrated with dance, music, and rituals. There is also a modern Jain shrine built next to the older shrine.
Guruvayoor : Guruvayoor is a small town in Kerala that is famous for the Shri Krishna Swamy Temple, an important center for the worship of the infant Krishna. The temple is visited regularly by people seeking healing for rheumatism and it is also popular for marriage ceremonies. The temple features carved columns, a tall gold flagpost, a lamp tower, murals and the image of Krishna holding a conch, a discus, a mace and a lotus. Near Shri Krishna Swamy Temple in Guruvayoor is the Punnathur Kotha, the famous Elephant Sanctuary where elephants are trained for temple purposes..
Kasaragod : Kasaragod is a district in northern Kerala bounded by the Western Ghats to the east and Arabian Sea to the west. The name is derived from the Sanskrit word for 'land of lakes' which refers to the twelve rivers flowing across its terrain. As it develops into a tourist destination, Kasaragod also offers engaging temples and beautiful beaches. The cultural heritage of Kasaragod is found in the famous art forms of Yakshagana, Bombe-yattu and Theyyam. The art forms of pulikkali and oppana are added to many of the festivals and celebrations.
