March 26, 2012 - Kodungallur, Kerala, India
As I just watched this excellent short multimedia presentation by Anthony Pond - - I remembered my own visit to Kodungallur earlier this year and had a look through the photos I took.
Unfortunately, I had arrived a day too late and although the festivities were scheduled for a number of days, by Monday the event was by far not as intense as it had obviously been the day before. Kudos to Anthony Pond for some spectacular shots. I know how hard it was to get decent pictures as there was a lot of movement, a great number of people, so someone would always walk through the frame or a head or hand would stick into it, plus the light was rather harsh.
I had hired a tuk-tuk the day before actually, but the driver had mixed up the town with another one which would have been much closer. I had my suspicions but wasn't that sure either. On the morning, when he picked me up from my homestay, he told me about the destination I had in mind and that it was still doable by tuk-tuk, just the price went up a bit.
It was quite an interesting trip from Fort Kochi, first getting onto a ferry and then passing through villages on the way before reaching Kodungallur.
Here are some of the photos from that day:
