Kannur
Kannur
With the Western Ghats in the east and the Lakshadweep Sea in the west, Kannur is an area bounded by a wealth of natural beauty. Known even to the early Romans and Greeks, Kannur was reputed for its exports to the outside world since early centuries. Whilst its reputation as a business district was overshadowed by neighbouring Kozhikode, Kannur was still well-known for its quality timber. Its rich history is reflected in its ancient forts, old shrines and monuments. The district has been a key contributor to the cultural, religious, political and industrial heritage of Kerala
