Periplus
Maris Erythraei - Periplus of the Erythraen Sea of the first century, an unknown
Greek merchant-mariner’s handbook on travel and trade in the Indian Ocean
describes Muziris as “the first emporium of India”, “not to be sought because
of pirates nearby” and where “the shipping station is a long way from the land,
and cargoes are brought in and carried out by light boats”.
Vadakumpuram Thoodu, a significant water way connecting the Muziris Pattanam to other villages near Chendamangalam and Gothuruth
As an empty container ship leaves Kochi a view from Aspinwall building. Day to day life in Cochin unchanged but more of the local fishermen folks, rickshaw drivers and shop vendor have started talking about the Art Biennalle as they feel an increased tourist attention near Fort Cochin and Mattanchery areas.
Shot from Fort Cochin, Kerala on 12-12-12. The legacy of the spice trade related with Muziris and later changed to Kochi lives on with the Biennale.
