COCHIN HERITAGE CARNIVAL 2022: VINTAGE FORT COCHIN WITH JOHANN KURUVILLA

About the walk

Vintage Fort Cochin

Fort Cochin was a unique neighborhood of love, life and harmony amongst its inhabitants. This was a moment in time that still reverberates in the heart and soul of every Fort Cochinite. We take a look at this "Vintage Fort Cochin", its people and its institutions that evoked a breath of life into this historical town. This special walk is a tribute to the bygone era of Fort Cochin from the turn of the 20th Century. It is about stories of people and places and collective memories.
