Chendamangalam Synagogue, Jewish synagogue in Chendamangalam, India
The synagogue features a central brass bimah, an ark on the western wall, and an exterior women's gallery connected through a separate entrance point.
The synagogue structure, completed in 1420 and renovated in 1614, belonged to one of the oldest Malabar Jewish communities dating back to 1100 CE.
The synagogue complex lies within a one-kilometer radius of a Hindu temple, Syrian Christian church, and mosque, representing Kerala's religious diversity.
The synagogue operates as the Kerala Jews Lifestyle Museum, opening from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays for visitors to explore Jewish heritage.
A tombstone of Sarah Bat Israel from 1269, displayed in the front yard, stands as the second oldest Jewish epitaph discovered in India.
