Abstract

These Ghats have the appearance of changing colours and its peak stands as a sentinel over this wonderful city of Kerala. The rich vegetation in Calicut triggered its economic activities, and the restless waves of the sea attracted foreigners to trade with the natives. They export pepper, cardamoms, sandalwood, arrack, nuts, coconuts, coconut oil, gingely, grain, roots etc. newline
