Art galleries South India

A pretty gallery offering statues of all sizes, art objects, paintings… Prices are fixed and displayed: no bad surprise here!

In addition to the paintings presented, the gallery has a very pleasant café located in a large garden. Pizzas and pancakes are on the menu.

This store sells handicrafts produced by the Nilgiris tribes. One can find Pukhoor embroidery, textiles with geometric shapes and bright colors made by hand and made only by women of the Toda minority. Nearly 400 women make a living from this ancestral craft. Another small store selling embroidered blankets is also located at the entrance of the Botanical Gardens. If you are looking for warm and ethnic clothes, take a look at the Tibetan market, in front of the gardens.

Located in the district of the Cochin Thirumala Devaswom temple, this is the gallery run by Dinesh Shenoy, an artist-painter who is passionate about his city. His favorite subject is colonial architecture, especially the buildings of Fort Cochin. Destined to disappear or to undergo the test of time, they are immortalized on superb sepia monochrome canvases. Dinesh will be happy to tell you the history of each one. You can even purchase one of his works, for your own pleasure or as a gift, if you wish.
