Kerala heritage buildings.

sanjupalayat · March 6th, 2008, 10:39 AM

Architecture in Kerala is unique and was build strictly on the basis of vasthu, we have lost many of our heritage buildings for our want of land for development, only a few of such structures are left now, this thread is completely dedicated for such structures....so expecting good ones from u kerala forumers and others those who r interested..

Starting wid my ansectral house or tharavad Mounissery calicut, kerala, which is some 150 years old and the design of this building is called padinjata, its a typical Malabar style of architecture.

CENTRAL TRAVANCORE STYLE

A 100 year old, old-type architecture house. Built mostly by wood and intricate woodwork. There are "Nilavara" still there.

Fine collection, Sanju.
Can you post some of the nalukettu in the Calicut area ?
The valluvanadan architecture differs from the Travancorean architecture slightly.
The temples also comes with different styles.
