What is Nalukettu


NALUKETTU is a unique architectural marvel of Kerala. These are homes built in quadrangular format facing a courtyard..


It is built completely of wood with intricate carvings and red roof tiles.


Front doors are usually massive with innumerable rooms meant for specific purposes. There were granaries and cattle sheds attached with large ponds and Sarpakavu (Serpent grove). It is an excellent example of Kerala’s eco-friendly culture.
