Description
Kettuvalams, or the Houseboats of Kerela, with thatched roofs covering the wooden hulls, have been an integral part of the rich culture of Kerela since 3000 B.C. The traditional houseboats were sustainable and eco-friendly and were a construction marvel.
Constructed using wooden planks and secured with coconut fibre coir ropes, the entire boat was built without a single nail!
From cashew nut shell grease for waterproofing to bamboo logs for navigating the backwaters of Kerela, these beautiful houseboats were designed to preserve rich water bodies and aquatic life.
May our Kerela Houseboat Mugs transport you to the time when sustainability and nature consciousness was at the forefront of innovation. Rack up your brain for sustainable innovations, and let the Kettuvalams be your inspiration!
