Paravur Synagogue, Jewish synagogue in North Paravur, Kerala, India.
The Paravur Synagogue stands as a religious complex with a two-story entrance gateway, prayer halls, and separate spaces for male and female worshippers.
Built in 1616 over an earlier structure from 1164, the synagogue endured Portuguese attacks in 1662 and later suffered damage during Tipu Sultan's military campaigns.
The architecture combines Jewish religious requirements with Kerala building traditions, including features like the padippura gateway and traditional timber construction methods.
Located on Jewish Street, the synagogue functions as the Kerala Jews History Museum since 2014, following extensive renovations under the Muziris Heritage Project.
The synagogue's original bimah and Holy Ark were transported to Israel in the 1990s when the last remaining Jewish community members departed Kerala.
