VISION & MISSION:

LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
KUMARAKOM BIRD SANCTUARY - We can see the variety of migratory birds that flock in thousands, ranging from places like the Himalayas to Siberia. We can see different types of species of egrets and herons, White Ibis and several species of kingfishers
JEWISH SYNAGOGUE: The Paradise Synagogue is the oldest active synagogue in the Commonwealth of Nations. One can study the practices and rituals of the Jewish religion. It has the scrolls of the law, crowns, copper plates and a lot of other unique items received as gifts. Belgian Glass Chandeliers, the brass-railed pulpit and a host of other unique crafts antiques are on display. The synagogue is a blend of different styles of art and architecture. One step into its divine halls leaves a person enthralled with the rare antiques on display. The chandeliers and lamps sparkle alongside the natural sunlight that flows in through its large windows. These glass chandeliers date back to the 19th century when they were imported from Belgium. The hand-painted blue willow patterned tiles are architectural marvels in themselves. They were brought here from Canton in China by Jewish businessman Ezekiel Rahabi in the 18th century. Each tile is unique and one feels a distinct mystical aura emanating from the entire place.
DUTCH PALACE: The Palace was gifted by the Portuguese to the King of Cochin but later the Dutch carried out some renovations and extensions and so it is called the Dutch palace. Currently, it is a portrait gallery of mythological murals of the Hindu temple art. It is constructed in traditional style with a European influence. The deity of the royal family, 'PazhayannurBhagavathi' (the Goddess of Pazhayannur) is placed in the central courtyard.
CHINESE FISHING NETS: In India, Chinese fishing nets (Cheena vala) are fishing nets that are fixed land installations for fishing. The more formal name for such nets is "shore operated lift nets". Huge mechanical contrivances hold out horizontal nets of 20 m or more across.
COCHIN SHIPYARD: Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) is the largest shipbuilding and maintenance facility in India. It is part of a line of maritime-related facilities in the port city of Kochi, in the state of Kerala, India. Of the services provided by the shipyard are building platform supply vessels and double-hulled oil tankers.
