Kochi, Port city in Kerala, India.
The commercial city stretches along the Arabian Sea coast with numerous waterways, connecting mainland districts through modern bridges and ferry networks.
Portuguese colonizers established their first settlement in India at Fort Kochi in 1503, initiating European colonial presence in the Indian subcontinent.
The Mattancherry Palace displays detailed murals depicting scenes from Hindu epics, particularly 45 consecutive paintings narrating the Sanskrit epic Ramayana.
The Cochin International Airport links the city with major destinations across India and operates direct flights to Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian countries.
The harbor features manually operated Chinese fishing nets introduced by traders from the court of Kublai Khan during the 8th century.
