Anchuvilakku

Monumental lamp



Anchuvilakku, a lamp-post made of stone, is located 22 km south of Kottayam, near the Changanacherry boat jetty. It was constructed by Velu Thampi Dalawa, the Diwan of the former Travancore Province (Thiruvithamkur) of Kerala. The five lamps on this post are lit using kerosene. It is an excellent example of Kerala architecture.
