Glimpses of Tradition

I am on a try to catch out the glimpses of vanishing traditions of Kerala. 

Kerala has a rich and diverse tradition in its architecture also. The palaces, temples, mosques and churches of Kerala is a pure evidence of its architectural tradition. Every tharavaus or ancestral homes of Kerala also maintained its architectural beauty. The wells of the home were connected with the kitchen.

The age old Oil Lamp of Kerala

Older days of Kerala, have witnessed the kerosene lamps ('mannenna vilakku') in their nights.There was no proper electric connection  in the district years back.At that time people used different kind of lamps for lightning their houses. The kerosene lamps made of brass was such a common thing.Today also there are remote villages which are still making use of these lamps.
On my visit to a old 'tharavadu'(ancestral home) in Kerala, I found one such lamp.
