Thrissur (Kerala), India - December 29th, 2006

Today I am travelling to Thrissur, considered Kerala's cultural capital, with many schools for performing arts, and a vibrant temple festival scene.
This would be another city to come back to and take some courses. A town 20 kms. south of Thrissur near Irinjalakuda, offers training in traditional arts, and dance. They offer short appreciation courses (about 1 month) to foreigners.
Thrissur has a Indu temple in the middle of the downtown circle, but only Hindus are allowed to visit. I visited the archeological museum located now in the Sakthan Thampuram Palace.
