We visited Arthunkal Basilica on the way back from kumarakom vacation. It's an historic pilgrimage centre and one of the oldest churches in India. The main church and the one built in 1561 are both well maintained and open for public to pray. A must visit if you are in this area and definitely one to explore if you have an interest in Christian history in India

The temple is an old architectural splendor and is spread over a huge area with a large pond. The temple has two gates of entry the Eastern & Western Gate. The Western Gate has lot of shops & adequate parking. The temple is famous for the " Ambalapuzzha Palpayasam ( Rice Kheer/ Rice Pudding)", which is distributed at 12 noon. The Palpayasam needs to be pre-booked or if you are lucky you can stand in queue at 10:30 am and try and get it on the same day. The temple also has a elephant permanently inside the temple premises.

This remote temple is set in a beautiful forest. The building is in a typical Keralian style and shows the intricate woodwork so typical of these temples. As it is dedicated to to Snake King (God?) there is an extraordinary display of snake art - the Cobra being the snake. There are carvings and painted reliefs but most incredible are the thousands ( supposedly, 30,000) of stone images of Cobras. The grounds of the temple are beautiful and warrant a long stroll to the Kali temple. There were no more than half a dozen other visitors when we were there so the quietness was wonderful.

It is believed that this temple was consecrated by a Brahmin who happened to recognize Devi who had reached the shore. The souls of the brahmin and the maiden who is said to have fallen in love with Brahmin have been consecrated in small shrines inside the temple. The devi 'Kalichu' (played)'kulathil vannu'. Hence the name Kanichukulangara.

It's a nice peaceful beach with golden sands. Since it's not yet on popular tourist circuit, its unspoilt and retains it's natural beauty. Few shacks serving juice and sea food have come up on the beach shores. One can also rent the beacj umbrella and a makeshift bed from villagers to enjoy the sunny sands and waves. Surfing equipment is available to rent as well. Nice little cafes have also come up on the way and in nearby areas.
