Kerala Culture

Culture, we are told, is the ‘stories we tell ourselves about ourselves’. The story of Kerala is mirrored in the evolution of its art and culture. Kerala’s geographical features led to the three distinct ways in which Kerala culture developed in the territory. The relative isolation of Kerala form the mainland of India in the east, and the long open coast on the west had strong influences on culture of Kerala in different areas.

Kerala’s long and inviting coastline that witnessed the arrival of many foreign people and cultures and its backbone of hills that provided the State insularity from the rest of the country, facilitated the retention of its legacy as well as the integration of the winds of change that have swept over the land from time to time. Consequently, Kerala offers a cultural kaleidoscope in it literature, language, music, dance, theatre and rituals; the pluralist basis of Kerala culture mosaic is reflected in its art forms. Simply Kerala culture denotes the meaning of the local culture of Kerala people.

One should definitely make Kerala Tour to understand the rich its culture and arts.
