Kannur

In the Kannur district, the Municipal Corporation of Kannur, which is also known by its English Name, Cannanore, can be found. Kannur is the 27th most populous state in India and the sixth most populous state in Kerala. It is located 518 kilometers away from the state capital of Thiruvananthapuram.

The southern coast of Kerala is much more popular with tourists than the northern coast of the state. This is a destination in its own right and should not be missed. The undeveloped but breathtakingly beautiful beaches that can be found at this end of Kerala’s coast are the primary draw for visitors to this part of the state. In addition to this, the captivating theyyam possession rituals that are carried out in this location are also equally as magnificent.

Kannur was the most important port in the region during the time of the Kolathiri rajas, and it was bustling with activity related to international trade. The explorer Marco Polo later referred to Kannur as the “great emporium of spice trade,” and this moniker has stuck to this day. Since that time, the typical European colonial powers—the British, the Dutch, and the Portuguese, to name a few—have taken proactive steps to expand the sphere of their influence in this area. Kannur is a town in Kerala that is known for its cashew trade as well as its weaving industry. Despite its lack of excitement, the town is considered to be quite agreeable. Due to the fact that Kannur is primarily a Muslim region, it is essential for tourists to be aware of the local Muslim culture and traditions and to conduct themselves in a respectful manner while in the city.
