We visited the famous Kadampuzha Bhagavathi temple associated with history on 13 Dec in the AN at 4 PM. Normally there are many visitors during the morning hours up to 12 noon and there is no crowd in the AN. The temple closes at sunset. The temple has been recently renovated and the steps, about 60 in number, leading to the temple down below have been cemented with railings to help elders. The place is clean with restrooms and restaurants nearby. There is ample parking.

An almost bewildering private collection of (in the main) high end cultural artefacts from musical instruments to Theyyam masks and costumes to oil paintings to puppets to antique Keralan front doors, well displayed and maintained over 3 floors in a glorious traditional Keralan teak building. Courteous, knowledgeable staff. 100R entrance + 100R for use of a snapshot camera. Slightly haphazard labelling of exhibits but fine for me - would have been overwhelming otherwise Glorious theatre on the top floor with a coffered wooden ceiling embellished with beautifully detailed paintings depicting Hindu deities and scenes from the Hindu epics. Small cafe adjoining. A "must see" for anyone interested in the culture / ethnography of Kerala. There is a shop but the sales staff are not pushy in any way.

David Hall is a beautiful old Dutch bungalow that has been restored and has taken on a new life as a cultural centre with a gallery for contemporary art, with a focus on providing a platform for young artists. With its café serving authentic thin crust pizzas, delicious bites and beverages; and a space for performing arts, the historic building could be an inspiring, vibrant meeting place for fresh talent and lovers of art.

If you're in Fort Kochi for the Biennale, then David Hall is one place you should not miss. It is one of the exhibit venues for the biennale and a very beautiful one indeed. I visited David Hall for the biennale, but ended up falling in love with their cafe and spending more time that I had planned on staying. They have a beautiful outdoor cafe, with a vertical garden and greenery all around. There is a changing special menu that is displayed on the board and the pizzas here are an absolute must try item.

This is a Shiva temple and it is believed that Lord Shiva was first to offer prayer to Lord Vishnu at the Guruvayur temple and the pilgrimage to Guruvayur only completes when you offer prayer at the Mammiyur Shiva temple. Very calm place with no rush. You can get darshan with out any difficulties or waiting period.
