Devoutly religious people and fervent about their religious practices, the people of Kerala are rigid about their traditional practices and loyal to their cultural discipline. And yet they foster an amazing sense of religious tolerance. It is however the religious tolerance and the sense of brotherhood prevalent in the state that awes a tourist. Communal violence and religious unrest is almost unheard of. Most shrines encourage this sense of belonging to a greater platform and teach peaceful coexistence rather than prejudice and communal partisanship.
Kerala Temples: Kerala temples are astounding samples of the rich architectural tradition and growth centers of performing and ritual arts. Besides being the backbone of the social structure and intense religious emotionalism, these shrines are home to the religious literary activities.
Kerala Mosques: The mosques of Kerala are not only religious institutions, they are home to the devout, refuge to the destitute and institutions of the divine. Maps Of India brings you information on the history of the cultural and religious growth at these sacred haunts.
Kerala Synagogues: There are a few Jew families surviving in Kerala albeit their number is just a handful. Nevertheless they make their presence felt and Judaism is considered one of the religions of the state of Kerala.
