Kozhikkode lighthouse, Maritime navigation structure in Moodadi Coast, Kerala, India
Kozhikkode lighthouse is a white cylindrical masonry tower located on the Moodadi Coast in Kerala that guides maritime traffic with regular flashing signals. The structure stands on rocky coastline and forms a recognizable landmark visible from the water.
The first lighthouse structure was built in 1847 in response to several shipwrecks that had occurred along this coast. A significant modification came in 1903 when the structure was rebuilt lower to improve its functionality.
The lighthouse marks a place where different peoples and trade routes have intersected for centuries along the Kerala coast. It stands as a reminder of the seafaring traditions that shaped this region's identity.
The lighthouse grounds are accessible to visitors during afternoon hours and are located on the Kozhikkode coast. The nearest railway station serves as the main transport hub for reaching this coastal location.
The lighting system has evolved from coconut oil lamps to solar-powered LED technology over its long history. This transformation shows how maritime navigation technology has adapted to modern energy sources while maintaining its essential function.
