A Virtual Glimpse into Kerala’s Architectural Marvel
The Kerala Folklore Museum is not just a repository of artefacts; it is an architectural masterpiece in itself. The three-story structure is a meticulous reconstruction, blending the distinct architectural styles of three historical provinces of Kerala:
Ground Floor (Malabar Style): Admire the Malabar architecture with its intricate wooden carvings and traditional aesthetic.
First Floor (Cochin Style): Explore the Kochi style, which reflects a blend of indigenous and colonial influences.
Second Floor (Travancore Style – Kanjadalam): Marvel at the Travancore style, culminating in the stunning Kalithattu (or Koothambalam/Folklore Theatre), a performance space adorned with a magnificent 18th-century wood-carved ceiling and mural paintings.
Our Kochi Museum online virtual tour allows you to glide seamlessly through these floors, highlighting the meticulously carved wooden doors, ornate pillars, and the impressive Manichitrathazhu (traditional ornate door lock) that guards the entrance.
