Wood Carving - Kerala

Kasaragod District is one of the districts of the Indian state of Kerala. Kerala being rich in its culture and traditions attracts tourists from all over and is named as one of the hundred great trips of the twenty-first century. The products of Kasaragod wood carving can be mostly seen in temples. The doors are carved with Gods and Goddesses. The Mallam, the top part of the temple has wooden carvings that are three-dimensional (Vyali protecting the place and people around the shrine). Since the woodcarvers take up works relating to temples one gets to see the works of woodcarvings on the doors, the top part of the shrines, and pillars installed at temples. The face on the top part of the shrine is Vyali.
