Random clicks from Fort Kochi where Kochi-Muziris Biennale is held

Rev. Dr. Hermann Gundert graffiti
Fort Kochi, a historic spot in Kerala needs no introduction. It is here this year's edition of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale is held. This graffiti of Rev. Dr. Hermann Gundert was clicked at the Burgher Street. Hermann Gundert's dictionary in the Malayalam language, the mother tongue of Keralites is a very valuable resource in our literature.

Almost everywhere we can see beautiful art. Nothing is boring here. 

Burgher Street, Fort Kochi
Kashi art cafe is a famous spot in the Burgher street. Portuguese built this street during their occupation of Fort Kochi long ago. The Dutch subsequently destroyed the Fort built by the Portuguese and the nearby structures during their invasion but became disliked by the local people ultimately. Eventually, they had to leave and this region came under the Portuguese rule once again.
