Chowannur burial cave, Ancient rock-cut burial cave in Thrissur district, India.
The circular burial chamber features a hemispherical vault with benches on the northern and southern sides, alongside five circular blocks for vessel placement.
The prehistoric megalithic cave, carved directly into rock, represents burial practices and architectural techniques from early Indian civilizations.
Archaeological findings within the cave structure provide evidence of funeral rituals and social customs of ancient communities in Kerala.
