A window to Kerala
No state in India can rival Kerala in the range and richness of its topography –
from the blue waters that bring such sparkle to its long coastline to the thick
green undulating forests that’s an ecologist’s delight. Nor can any other state boast
of such diversity of religion. Its history is just as magnificent in its sweep –
there is so much drama and romance in the stories of how foreign traders made their
way here some 2,500 years ago; or, of the arrival of St. Thomas the Apostle in 52 AD;
or, the long journey of Vasco da Gama from Lisbon to Calicut in 1498; or, of how a
young Sankara set out from Kalady to unify an entire faith…All of this has found
vibrant expression over the centuries in the art and culture of this beautiful state.
