Manakkodam Lighthouse, Maritime navigation structure in Alappuzha district, India
The Manakkodam Lighthouse features a square tower with a skeletal lower half and a closed upper section, complete with a balcony and white exterior with red lantern.
Built in 1979, the lighthouse introduced the first maritime navigation aid in this section of the Kerala coast, with its light source upgraded to metal halide in 1998.
The lighthouse stands as a testament to maritime safety infrastructure development in Kerala, reflecting the region's commitment to protecting coastal navigation routes.
The lighthouse emits two white flashes every ten seconds and reaches a visibility range of 18 nautical miles through its 500-watt metal halide lamp system.
The reinforced concrete structure combines both open and enclosed architectural elements, rising 34 meters above the Andhakaranazhy beach landscape.
