Azhikode lighthouse, Maritime navigation tower on the Arabian Sea coast in Kodungallur, India.
The 30-meter concrete tower displays alternating white and black horizontal bands with a red lantern at its summit near the Kerala coast.
Established in 1982, this structure replaced a 96-foot mast that had operated with a fixed light near the port entrance since 1964.
The lighthouse forms an integral part of the local fishing industry, guiding vessels from traditional Kerala fishing communities through coastal waters.
The tower emits three white flashes every 20 seconds from its metal halide lamp, positioned at a focal height of 34 meters above sea level.
In 1994, the facility upgraded from radio beacon technology to a differential global positioning system for enhanced maritime navigation capabilities.
