Vanchikulam

I have heard great stories about this place. But you can't even find any skeleton as proof right now. Elders say the place was a transport hub when water transport was the preferred choice. During shopping festival, they light up this area in respect of its past glory. To the uninitiated; the whole thing is a very narrow canal leading up to a pond. I find it extremely hard to believe this place moved goods in volume to far away places. If you still want to visit, go there and sit on the side walls and steps leading to the pond. But don't disturb women from the nearby colony of garbage collectors taking bath and washing their clothes, the only people whom the place now serve.
