Kozhikode, Coastal trade city in Kerala, India

The port metropolis stretches along the southwestern Malabar Coast, featuring neighborhoods filled with markets, spice warehouses, and commercial streets.

Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama landed in Kozhikode during 1498, establishing the first maritime trade route between Europe and India.

The population of Kozhikode includes Hindu, Muslim, and Christian communities, with Malayalam language connecting different religious groups through literature and arts.

The municipal corporation manages public transportation through extensive bus networks and railway connections to major cities along India's western coastline.

The district produces calico fabric, a specific type of cotton textile that received its name from the former designation of the city as Calicut.
