Kochi (also known as Cochin) is a city in southwest India’s coastal Kerala state & has been a port since 1341. The community is extremely diverse, having been exposed to traders from China, Portugal, Spain, England & the rest of the European countries. Like any other coastal settlement, fishing is one of the major livelihoods & fish one of the most common elements of their regular diet.

Over 5000 years of human civilization, prosperity in arts, science, philosophy and non-materialistic sciences have also harbored religions, rituals & various customs in India. Very often we follow these rituals mechanically these days without completely knowing the purpose or completely following the processes as prescribed in the Vedas.
