I have heard much about the shopping experience of Kerala. So I went on a shopping spree while I visited Kerala on my annual vacations. Shopping in Kerala is a shoppers delight. Kerala has a long history and traditions apart from its natural wealth. While traveling in Kerala, one is tempted to do some shopping for traditional Kerala products.
As Kerala has rich traditions and it has a battery of skilled artisans and craftsmen to present a wide variety of astonishing art and craft products and handicrafts. I bought lots of eye-catching articles made from teakwood, deep-wine rosewood and fragrant sandalwood. A mind-boggling array, a riot of colors, brilliant aesthetics, and exquisite embellishments, the handicrafts of Kerala are indeed the true representatives of the vivacious land.
Another thing, Kerala is famous for, are spices. Spices of Kerala are renowned for their healing qualities, aroma and flavors. The tropical air and sea coast of Kerala grooms a nutrient rich soil to produce high quality spices that no other place offers. Spices are also exported from Kerala worldwide. Spices are used in medicines, preservatives, and perfumes and above all in cooking. i picked some exotic spices for your kitchen too!
I shopped in Kerala till last; so vast was its object range. I did some window shopping too in shop for ivory carvings, pottery, and gold and silver brocaded fabrics and pottery and ceramic products. Some other specialties of Kerala are Aranmula mirror, gold and silver brocaded fabrics, boxes, buttons and ashtrays of steel with silver lining. Kerala is well known for ivory carvings from since early times. It was really a great experience!
