Ponnani lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Ponnani, India

The Ponnani Lighthouse stands 30 meters high with white and black horizontal bands, featuring a dodecagonal structure with a balcony and lantern at the top.

The original lighthouse construction began in 1937 with a steel mast, followed by a steel trestle in 1948, before the current tower was established in 1983.

The lighthouse stands at the meeting point of Bharathappuzha, the longest river in Kerala, and Tirur River, marking centuries of maritime activities in the region.

The lighthouse operates with a metal halide lamp at 220/250 volts, producing a flash every 15 seconds visible up to 20.6 nautical miles across the Arabian Sea.

The structure features a direct drive facility and maintains its position as an essential navigation aid at the coordinates 10.77801 latitude and 75.917027 longitude.
