[edit] Ponnani
Ponnani is a coastal town in Malappuram district. A haven for heritage lovers, Ponnani seems neglecting its heritage tradition. Valuable monuments which include ancient mosques and temples do not get deserving attention, mainly due to the thrust of Gulf money. Modern life-style forbids cherished values of the past. This is the case everywhere. Ponnani has a beautiful beach and an old sea-port. Port area bustles with fish-catch activities. Speedboats, water scooters and country boats compete each other to establish dominancy in the sea-shore.
