Kublai Khan's fishing net, Kochi

We took a short break from our coconut palm vacation up to Kochi. Here we found several of these contraptions still in use but left behind by the traders from the court of Kublai Khan.

While in town we saw more Kathakali and took in a demonstration of Kalarippayat, an ancient martial art. We also got the opportunity to hear Pandit Ajit Singh play his red hot sitar while accompanied by tabla. A smoking concert to be sure.
