- Explore the traditions, history and cuisine of Kerala. Located in the south of India, Kerala is named as one of the 10 paradises of the world. The states beauty isn't the only reason to visit, Kerala has a rich history and they really keep the traditions alive. Follow me along my five week motorbike journey as I dive into their culture.

This is the best documentary about Kerala I have ever seen from a foreign person.
Thank you for your kind words, which area are you from? ❤
Thrissur District,Kerala
Kerala is the heaven of nature...so, no surprise in calling it as God's Own Country
It is a beautiful place, I look forward to returning

Kerala is the best, what else could I have included in the video from Kerala?
@@thejourneycreatives Love for football in Kerala!!.⚽💗
'I am a Keralite ' I felt soo proud to watch this documentary, nice work. Proud to be a malayali ❤❤
Thank you, which part are you from?
Snake boat is not something keralites named. It was the name given by the tourists. We just calls it 'Chundan Vallam', loosely translates to boat with long beak
Didn’t know that, appreciate the comment ❤️
This is incredible. The presentation 👌 I got teary in the end. As someone who lives away from my homeland Kerala, I feel more attached to it as time moves on. Thank you for this reminder of how rich, vast and beautiful my state is. As Malayalis we're truly blessed to have been born here, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Thank you so much, I am glad I reminded you how beautiful your home is. Thanks for your kind words
Your dedication is clearly evident in this beautiful documentary about Kerala's society, culture, and history🥰❤
Thank you so much, your kindness made the video what it is
Kerala has something that you can not find in other states of India,that is, people live in secular harmony here 🕉️☪️✝️ 😊❤

Shiva is "ultimate consciousness", in Hinduism he is a deity even worshiped in human form by demons(asuras), and gods(devas). Btw am catholic from kerala.
Shiva is the deity for "Destruction of Non-Dharma".
Shiva is also the first teacher of Dharma and Hinduism.
Ultimate Consciousness is Turiya. Turiya is a subset of Atman. Atman is an aspect of Brahman.
Asuras are not Demons. Asuras and Devas are cousins.
Demons are european mythical characters, not Asuras.
Namaskaaram❤
What a pleasant video ! Your storytelling style is wonderful. Looking forward to seeing more..
Very nice vlog.
Respects to your hard work.
Lots of love from Kerala ❤

Thank you so much❤❤
Wonderful Danny ☺️😌 Amazing 👍 Documentry 🤞👌
Thank you Rajesh ❤️❤️
i want the govt promote home tourism were tourists from other countries can live with us and understand our lifetsyle ,our home food ,culture tradition,beliefs etc in much more depth...evry house in kerala could be a great tourist attraction for the foreigners...the struggles of an indian mother the way she take care of the family...the way she cooks...the way she manages family and work at the same time...the tensions of an indian father who have to earn more and more to ensure a safe future for their children...the thoughts and views of the growing children...it would be a great initiative with a huge potential...and i like that guy who explained abt hinduism he just summarised entire bhagvat geeta in few min
Would be a cool way to experience a place, appreciate the message
Top notch doc, enjoyed that
Thank you for visiting us. Great documentary. This should receive more reach.
Thank you, where else should I see in Kerala? I will return
@@thejourneycreatives You can visit Munnar. It is a high range famous for tea plantations. Another Festival is Thrissur Pooram held at Thrissur Vadakkumnadha Temple annually during March-April.
Did you try the houseboats in Alappey? You can also go into deeper waterways and canals on small boats, go to remote villages and experience the lives of people there..
@@thejourneycreativesmunnar (hillstation), varkala( cliff by the beach), and calicut( FOOOOD)

Very well rounded documentary about Kerala I’ve ever watched. As important as Kathakali, there’s another folklore art form in northern part of Kerala called Theyyam. It is performed in temples of district of Kannur during the time of December to April. It is another fascinating form of art you might probably be interested in. Hope you include this in your itinerary next time you’re back in Kerala. Thanks.
I definitely will mate, I appreciate the message. Thank you so much ❤
Kerala is One state in India which not like other states in India 💯💯👏

Kerala have a great culture and tradition, Keralites are still celebrating and transforms to next generation their history make it as a pride. But currently Kerala facing such social anomalies... Like such radical ideas to split kerala's peace and harmony. Hopefully kerala will heal it soon... മലയാളി man...
I hope so, we are better together ❤

One correction-Mahabali requested Vamana to permit him to visit his people once in a year, that is on Thiru Onam day
Onam is a festival of harvest 🌴🌴🌴🥀🥀🌹

Shall we make our gods country more aesthetic.??
The term 'Kerala' is not merely a reference to a region abundant in coconut trees; it signifies a rich historical and political heritage. This region was once governed by the Chera dynasty. The term 'Chera Alam,' where 'Alam' signifies territory, evolved into 'Cheralam' or 'Keralam,' in later periods.
Mahabali was a Rakshasa.
Rakshasa is clan, not demon.
Mahabali was generous(he spent and used all the resources without thinking about limits) and arrogant, and he tried to invade and interfere three major realms, Patalaloka(lower realms), Bhooloka(earth), Swargaloka(upper realms). Mahabali thought that he was the superior in three worlds. That was a Non-Dharmik activity. Vishnu took avatar as Vamana. Vamana taught him that he is not superior. Vamana made him understanding whats dharma. Vamana measured three realms in first two steps, there is no third step, so mahabali understood Vishnu is superior than him, then he shown his head to step.
Mahabali was sent to Patalaloka. Vishnu blessed Mahabali to become Chiranjeevi, and to become next Indra in next Manuvantara.
Mahabali was also a devotee of Vishnu. Vishnu is the deity for "Making Dharma Live". Vishnu is not a human, its personification of cause of Universe(Viswam).
Onam is the memory of win of Dharma over Non-Dharma. Thrikkakarappan(Vamana) and other deities are worshipped as that mud pyramid at the centre of Flower design. Kerala people welcomes Mahabali to their houses with respect to the order of Lord Vishnu, and they symbolically serve pooja, food, etc to all deities including Mahabali.
Onam is an important ritual and worship practice than celebration for Hindus. Which is locally called as, "onam kolluka".
