Kovilthottam lighthouse, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Kollam, India.
The 18-meter tall square tower features alternating black and white bands, with a lantern and balcony at its summit overlooking the Arabian Sea.
Built in 1953 to replace a flag mast, the lighthouse underwent improvements in 1960 with the construction of a permanent masonry structure for maritime guidance.
The lighthouse serves the Port of Neendakara at the entrance of Ashtamudi Backwaters, supporting local fishing communities and maritime trade activities.
The lighthouse employs a 500-watt halogen lamp with a range of 15 nautical miles and features an emergency 12V 100W halogen lamp installed outside.
The structure utilizes a 250-millimeter fourth-order cut and polished drum optic system housed in a specialized lantern at 20 meters above sea level.
