Kerala culture and art forms
The architecture of the Boutique Hotel Kerala “The Killians” is spaciously and generously proportioned. Relax in the garden beside the turtle pool or climb up the so called “Dutch Stairs” to reach the roof top for a glorious view of the Arabian Sea, the Chinese Nets and the beaches of Fort Kochi. You can relax in the room, beside the pool, in the hands of our Ayurveda Therapist or refresh with a fruity Sun Downer at the roof-top– just a few of the vast facilities you could enjoy at the Boutique Hotel “The Killians” in Fort Kochi (Fort Cochin), Kerala. The Kerala porotta is a flatbread that is served with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. A typical Kerala breakfast may be Puttu, which is rice powder and grated coconut steam cooked together, idli and sambar, dosa and chutney, idiappams (string hoppers - also known as Noolputtu), or vella appam, a kind of pancake made of rice flour fermented with a small amount of toddy (fermented sap of the coconut palm) which is circular in shape, edged with a crisp lacy frill. It is eaten with chicken or vegetable stew. At Fort Cochin you can see an amalgamation of Portuguese, Dutch, Chinese cultures. A small population of Jews still resides here. You can visit Mattancherry Palace, Chinese Fishing Nets, and Saint Francis Church. You must see the oldest synagogue in the Commonwealth. Walk through the busy spice markets in the Jew Town area. In the evening watch Kathakali dance performance.
Native traditions of classical performing arts include Koodiyattom, Kathakali, Koothu Mohiniyattam Thullal, Padayani, Theyyam, Oppana and Kalaripayattu to name a few. There are three international airports in the state. They are at Thiruvananthapuram, Kozhikode and Nedumbassery (Kochi). The state is well connected by rail and road. There are trains at regular intervals to all parts of Kerala. Buses are aplenty and used extensively all across.
