Arakkal Museum
Kannur, Kerala, India
The Arakkal Museum is a significant historical site that offers a rare glimpse into the life and legacy of Kerala's only Muslim royal family, the Arakkal Ali Rajas. This royal lineage held considerable political and maritime power in the region for centuries, even forming alliances with European co lonial powers. The museum is housed in a renovated section of the Arakkal Kettu, the former royal residence, providing an authentic setting for its exhibits. The museum showcases a fascinating collection of artifacts that tell the story of the Arakkal family. Visitors can explore various rooms displaying royal furniture, ancient weapons, traditional clothing, coins, old documents, and various household items used by the royal family. The exhibits shed light on their unique cultural practices, their contributions to trade and administration, and their interactions with the Portuguese, Dutch, and British. The architecture of the Kettu itself, a blend of traditional Kerala and Islamic styles, is also worth appreciating. The museum's historical significance lies in preserving the narrative of a powerful Muslim dynasty that played a crucial role in shaping the history of Malabar. It's a must-visit for history buffs and anyone interested in the diverse cultural tapestry of Kerala.
