#OLDTRADITIONALKERALAMANSION

#SOUTHINDIABYCARANDDRIVER

#KYNTIEWLANGTOURS

Here is the interior courtyard of an old traditional Kerala mansion, known as a “Nalukettu” or ancestral home. These types of houses are characteristic of Kerala’s architectural heritage and were once homes to wealthy landowners or aristocratic families.

The key details visible in the image:

Wooden Pillars and Ceiling: The structure is supported by intricately carved wooden pillars and beams, typical of Kerala’s traditional architecture. The dark polished wood gives a rich and elegant look.

Raised Veranda (Thinnai): The platform area, raised slightly above the ground, is called a thinnai — a seating area where guests were welcomed.

Antique Decor: There are hanging lamps with colored glass shades (red and green), wooden furniture, framed artwork, and hunting trophies like deer horns on the walls.

Sloping Roof Design: The roof follows the sloping, tiled style of Kerala houses, designed to handle the region’s heavy monsoon rains.

Polished Red Floor: The red oxide flooring is common in traditional South Indian homes, known for its cooling effect and durability.

Traditional Artifacts: Towards the far end, you can see an old-style wooden cradle and more antique furnishings that reflect the cultural richness of Kerala’s heritage homes.

Overall, this image captures the elegance and craftsmanship of traditional Kerala architecture, blending woodwork, symmetry, and open design to suit the tropical climate.

#TRADITIONALOILEXTRACTION

#GOMMATESHWARASTATUE

#SOUTHINDIABYCARANDDRIVER

#KYNTIEWLANGTOURS

Its a traditional oil extraction setup, often found in rural parts of India. It is commonly known as a bullock-driven oil press or “chekku” (in Tamil) / “ghani” (in Hindi). Here’s what’s happening is that this is the large vertical wooden pestle is inserted into a metal or wooden container (called the chekku or ghani) that holds oil seeds such as sesame, groundnut, or coconut.

The horizontal wooden beam attached to the pestle is connected to a bullock or ox. When the bullock walks in a circular path, it rotates the beam, which in turn crushes and grinds the seeds to extract oil.

The circular base you see on the ground marks the path where the bullock moves around the press. This method of extraction is slow and natural, producing cold-pressed oil, which retains its nutrients and flavor. Such traditional setups are still used in many Indian villages, both for cultural preservation and for producing organic oil.

#FRENCHCOLONIAL

#GOMMATESHWARASTATUE

#SOUTHINDIABYCARANDDRIVER

#KYNTIEWLANGTOURS

A charming colonial-style building surrounded by lush greenery. The structure has white-painted walls, wooden shutters, and a tiled sloping roof — typical of French colonial architecture. The balconies and windows are shaded with awnings, adding elegance and functionality by protecting against sunlight.

The pathway beside the building is calm and shaded by trees, giving the place a peaceful and scenic atmosphere. This kind of setting is very common in Pondicherry (Puducherry), India, especially in the French Quarter, where the streets are lined with restored colonial houses, leafy boulevards, and vibrant tropical plants.

#STONETEMPLEINAIHOLEKARNATAKA

#GOMMATESHWARASTATUE

#SOUTHINDIABYCARANDDRIVER

#KYNTIEWLANGTOURS

An ancient stone temple located in Aihole, Karnataka, India. Aihole is often called the “Cradle of Indian Temple Architecture”, as it served as a major center of early Chalukyan architecture during the 6th–8th centuries CE. The temple in the image is built entirely of sandstone and displays the Dravidian architectural style. It features intricately carved pillars and walls, with a sanctum (garbhagriha) and a mandapa (pillared hall). The design includes ornamental motifs and sculptures on the outer walls, showcasing the artistic skill of early temple builders. The open hall supported by stone columns was likely used for rituals or gatherings.

Aihole has over 120 temples dedicated to Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist traditions. These temples illustrate the evolution of South Indian temple design, which later influenced the architecture of Pattadakal and Badami.

This site is recognized as a heritage location under the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
