Earlier Houseboats of Kerala are known as "Kettuvallam",
these huge, ling and tapering barges were traditionally used to cargo tonnes
of goods across kingdoms, with portion covered with bamboo and coir serving
as a rest room and kitchen for the crew. A familiar sight on the Backwaters,
these vessels are built entirely with out nails. Plants of jackwood are
joined together and coir rope and coated with caustic black resin made from
boiled cashew kenels. With careful maintenance they last for generations.
Today widely and appropriately called Luxury Houseboats, they carry
furnished bedrooms, modern toilets, cozy living rooms, a kitchen and even a
balcony for angling. As you cruise down the canal you can see morning
newspaper and mail delivery by boat, vendors in boat paddle from house to
house selling everyday provisions like rice, vegetables, oil, kerosene etc.
with hundreds of quacking ducks around. Also you can see village activities,
fisherman's activities and see old beautiful temples, churches and old
fashioned Kerala. |
