Please
note that Cochin is now known as KOCHI and to the locals the city is
Ernakulam.
Kochi
is an enchanted city intricately blending folklore with fact. Lured
by the siren song of its spice-scented shores, it has been an El Dorado
for innumerable travellers from distant lands. It was the threshold
to the Indian subcontinent from way back in the mists of long ago. It
still whispers exotic tales from a half forgotten past that weds it
to distant peoples from faraway lands. However, the secret of its wonder
and allure is that while its roots lie deep in a fabled past, it has
kept its finger on the pulse of today
