Arattupuzha, Alapuzha

 


An abandoned 'Light Refreshment Stall' at a boat jetty on the Kayankulam Estuary Backwaters.

This village sits on narrow strip of land between the backwaters and the Arabian Sea. Earlier, the boat was the best way to cross the backwaters and this snacking place by the jetty would've found customers. Now, a bridge to the south has made commute very easy and has killed this shop.

This village was hit by the big tsunami in 2004, destroying homes and killing over a hundred people. The bridge would've been more useful then.
