If you want to visit a temple then you can, some of the temples allow only Hindus because in the past there were infinite islamic invasions on India to loot and destroy temples, millions of small and big temples were destroyed so some temple management feel insecure now also. Now a days also many temples are destroyed by radicalised people.
Kerala is land of spices. VASCO DA GAMA the first European who discovered sea route to India. He landed on Calicut (in Kerala) for trading spices. After Portuguese, the Dutch , the British discovered route to India. Europeans consume lot of meat but they had no spices to preserve meat for long time . They need indian spices to preserve meat for long time.And thus how they ruled & traded in ancient days. That’s the short history…
@The Santhal Vlogger It is really good to see the old style of drying the spices etc along with the old buildings still playing a role in helping the local economy grow. Grateful for your information on Vasco Da Gama!
@@1mazforall in single words …Europeans invade India for spices, then started trading other things & then ruled to gain power over everything, that’s all my Bros… Imagine Indian spices are not common things. It had been a valuable assets then & even now… Value of spices…👍🏻
Yeah a few years after independence the Tamil-speaking parts of Travancore became part of Tamil Nadu so nowadays there not that many Tamil speakers in Kerala.
Your best indian vlog till now, well done. I like when you show the regular markets of the city and not the touristy ones. Also i must say the tuk tuk driver, Shibu was very honest and 'hassle free'👍
Harry, I would recommend that you visiting the Himalayan areas of India .... foreign tourists seldom go there and they are arguably the most picturesque in India and the world.
Harry , Glad you were able to organize a honest tuk tuk driver. The spice shop tour was really good and to see people working hard making an honest living is wonderful. India is truly vibrant! Enjoyed your vlog! Good luck Harry!
Bro he needs to visit a lot of places Rajasthan for the Forts and Desert, Himachal for mountains, North east India. I appreciate him taking time and exploring our country 🙏🏻
She is winnowing the waste outer cover of the pepper off before it goes for grinding. It’s a very traditional tool and is used to winnow all sorts of grain and spices to get rid of husks. Typically it is women’s work, and is also done in household settings too. Masala is a spice mix, not necessarily a curry mix. In Sri Lanka you went to Matara which is a cinnamon flowing area! Kerala is very like Sri Lanka in some ways as it has a similar colonial history. You are seeing as you did in SL that people can live together quite peacefully even though they have different religions and cultures. Multicultural societies that work do exist in many different places!
The Kerala model of development refers to the economic practices adopted by the Indian state of Kerala. It is characterised by results showing strong social indicators when compared to the rest of the country such as high literacy and life expectancy rates, highly improved access to healthcare, and low infant mortality and birth rates. Despite having a lower per capita income, the state is sometimes compared, to developed countries.These achievements along with the factors responsible for such achievements have been considered characteristic results of the Kerala model.Academic literature discusses the primary factors underlying the success of the Kerala model as its decentralization efforts, the political mobilization of the poor, and the active involvement of civil society organizations in the planning and implementation of development policies.
It’s sad to see most tourists know only Kochi, Munnar, Alleppy and Kumarakom…Kerala is almost 600 kms in length and there are several places apart from these places .. Wayanad for coffee and wildlife sanctuaries, Kannur for the theyyams , food , hopefully once the highways are ready things will change and more tourists will patronise
Bro I am from north and when i visited there I went too many stalls and tried to speak Hindi they were like what is this guy saying and they were speaking malayalam so it was difficult to communicate but english really helped
@@godworld6370 😂😂😂 Kerala the newer generation can manage with basic hindi plus the local stalls these days have a large Bangladeshi, Nepali guys and Biharis or UP guys so communication in Hindi shouldn't be that difficult. I remember going to my hometown pharmacy and asking for a tablet in Malayalam and when he responded back with the little Malayalam he knew I was like this is odd, his Malayalam sounded gibberish and finally communicated in Hindi. Yeah in Kerala we can get lost in translation a lot the more local and interior side we go. But English is a better option.
@@headlinesgenerator5426 I don't know if they can, would have to check the policies and laws relating to property. My guess is non Indians cannot buy any property throughout India except Goa.
4:42 no bro 1st church in India is Palayoor Mar Thoma Major Archiepiscopal Church it was established in 52 AD by St Thomas, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ.
My experience is that it is best not to buy things for people unless you have asked the person concerned, Because usually what we like, others don't like, Harry is very smart, In this episode, Harry learns knowledge from several very wise old people, which is very warm！👍😃🙏 我的經驗是除非問過當事人，否則最好不要幫人家買東西， 因為通常我們喜歡的東西，別人不見得喜歡，哈利很聰明， 這一集哈利與幾個很有智慧的老人學習知識，非常地溫馨！
3:37 Those tuk tuks are available in SL too but are mostly used for transporting goods. But some do take passengers. The one you took to race Mac & Ali to 9 Arches is similar to this one.
@@harryjaggardtravel Hindu religion and Temples are pretty discriminatory in roots.. As a Nazi Aryan race theory... The famous case of Sabrimala Temple which banned Women till date even after Court verdict... Some temple even today won't let Schedule Caste(Dalits-which they consider as untouchables) to enter in the temple premises... That's why I don't go to any hindu.temple anymore. Only Buddhist sites and Sikhs Gurudwara are the ones who accept everyone despite any discrimination against any religion, caste, gender..
There is nothing discriminatory like that❕ Some old caste problem exists But it's not supported by the state/nation and reform is happening at a fast pace ( and it is and it should be dealt with strictly). And some conservativeness is still there like in very few temples( only 8 ), foreigners or non-Hindus are not allowed in some important parts of the temple because of the history of extremism and destruction people faced(still happens sometimes, and many cases of ancient statues of Deity getting stolen). You can see many vlogs of foreigners going to the temple. So it's not like what some ignorant fools are telling you. And about the Sabarimala temple, it's the temple of Shani Grah ( Saturn ) where some occult practices are done, so, it was prescribed for women and children to not go there but with time to some extent, it became a conservative rule. Like in Temples, especially which is located on a hill or a distant place, menstruating women didn't go because of the wilderness and animals and because of the extra care that they need that period but with time and forgotten knowledge, all this became a conservative rule. You can also find many foreigners in the biggest Hindu gathering( even the biggest in the world), The Maha Kumbh Mela, which happens with every complete cycle of Jupiter (12 years).

Just to add to your statement 'Kerala doesn't feel like 🇮🇳' Well if you ask me Kerala is one dimension of India which is totally unique and different from rest of the country. Same in the case of Goa or the coastal areas of Karnataka (from Karwar bordering Goa to Mangalore bordering Kerala) where Bangalore is located. It will remind you more of SRI LANKA
@@SreekanthRajeev Exactly💯 true. becoz of "Western Ghats" kerala, kostal Karnataka, Goa and some costal areas of Maharashtra also similar in appearance but People of Kerala is Unique and should get a totally different feel than rest of the India.
official language of Kerala is malayalam bro .its 1000s of year old language. 97% of Keralites are Malayalies . hindi is the official language in some north Indian states but not in kerala and neighboring south indian states. it would be respectful if you say spme malayalam words instead of hindi in kerala.
Hey Harry glad to see a different video from the usual Salon haircut, local barber, Malls, Amusement Parks and Horse ride scams. The recurring themes from Luke Damant, Dale , Mac, you and Ali. I don't want to come off negative but it was getting a bit monotonous. •Kochi had a Jewish community settled there from King Solomon's time due to trade and later a larger families came in during Jewish persecution etc. Once Israel came into existence in 1948 most of them have moved back to their homeland. •Also Christianity came to Kerala due to this settlement, it's believed that St Thomas the disciple of Jesus came to India around 54 AD to spread the gospel to the Jewish population here and along with it some locals were also converted. • The difference between the nazi Swastika and this Indian swastika is right facing and it's used to show sun, prosperity and good luck. The symbol has been used in Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. I am not an expert on it so not delving into it much. •The last temple you visited is not a Buddhist temple it's actually a Jain temple. Hoping to see more videos like this that talks about cultural aspects, food and local people. That's kinda my liking it may vary for others. Take care.
Harry - at the 11:00 mark, the vegetable is called a Bitter Gourd in English. In urdu we call it a karela. IDK what they call it in Kerala, but in urdu, you saw a Karela, in Kerala.
@@minnalmurali4559 it varies from place to place in Kerala itself. I am from Alappuzha , Chengannur area and we call it Pavekka. 😅 What do you call Raggi in Malabar area?
Interesting videos. Hope you 'll have a nice stay in India. BTW, the language in Kerala is Malayalam - Malay a lum - a bit of a tongue twister, I know.
In india temples are not built for religious purposes, they were highly energized tools build for human wellness. Temples are found deliberately at a place where the positive energy is available abundantly from the magnetic and electric wave conveyances of north/south post push. The idol of deity is set in the core center of the temple, known as Grabhagriha. Ideally, the structure of the temple is built after the idol has been placed in a high positive wave centric place. In olden days, temples were built in such a way that the floor at the center of the temple were good conductors of these positive vibrations allowing them to pass through our feet to the body. Hence it is necessary to walk barefooted while you enter the center of the temple. The Five senses of the body get activated when you are inside the temple if the positive energy inside the temple is absorbed properly that is only if you ensure that all the five senses ie sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell are activated in your body while in the temple. The entire art of building temples is not just a mere art; it is a science. Every single facet of it - from the size of the idol to the directions and the sanctum- yes! Temple architecture is a highly developed science. If you look into the ancient past of India and its temples it reveals the fundamental science and purpose behind temple building. Far from being a place of prayer or worship, temples were created as powerful spaces where an individual could imbibe the enshrined energies. Most temples were created to address a particular aspect of life and were thus consecrated to activate one or two particular chakras, the main energy centers within the human system. it is also said that spiritual persons do not need to visit the temples as they have self charging mechanism. unfortunately in most part of India in ancient temples have been destroyed by invaders and the temple building science has been mostly lost because of nearly 1000 years of foreign rule. but if you go to an ancient Temple at least 900 years old in South India and sit near Grabhagriha you will feel the the positive energy.
@Harry Jaggard - The Religious symbol is Swastika - its a ancient Indian symbol, can be found also in all Buddhist counties as Buddism originated from India. This symbol has its origin in Hinduism - *Swastika is a symbol of good luck and Prosperity for all* What Gemans used is not swastika - Its Hekincross or Hooked Cross - Its origin is from Christianity. So what nazis used is a symbol of Christ, as Hitler originally wanted to be a priest in his young days, and Hooked cross was the main symbol in that Church and still is where he grew up.
Bro try to visit Munnar in Kerala.....near to kochi, Thiruvananthapuram where u can find beaches and world's richest temple... Try to explore Kerala cuisine which is one of the best cuisine in the country....
U r just majority by 5% other all r minority lol wait for some year u Hindu commie of Kerala and all those Hindu Mandir will same just like Kashmir lol
Brother visiting Gangtok, shimla, chandigarh, indore, noida,navy Mumbai, gandhinagar your thought going to change ..by the way kochi is also amazing city .
You’re keep saying “KAISE HO”…do they even understand that coz they don’t usually understand hindi much…it’s like you’re speaking Czech infront of French people 😅😅😅…india have 22 official languages and many of the people don’t know each other’s languages other than north indian people mostly know hindi…in south they will be more comfortable in ENGLISH than the HINDI 🙂
KOCHI OR COCHIN ......IS A NATURAL HARBOUR ....AND NAVAL BASE ....WELLINGDON ISLAND....AWWW.. SOOOOOO MUCH TO SEE HARRY...WE CAN NEVER DO IT IN ONE LIFETIME...
Have You Heard About The Indus Valley? Indus Valley Was A South Indian Civilization Of Tamil & Went As Far As Southwest Iran & Iraq. Like Mohenjodaro There Is Kerala-No-Doro It's A Harappan Site 🇮🇳🔱 Been Making Kulukki Sarbat At The Euphrates River Since 5000 BC
First church is not in kochi , it is in different part of kerala , it is the syrian churches built during the first century when St Thomas the disciple of Jesus came to Kerala at AD 57
23:38 All those buildings seem so old & should've been built during the colonial era around the 17th, 18th or 19th century. Similar buildings still exist at the Galle Fort in Sri Lanka.
Harry way to go! Hoping you could enjoy this trip more. You are making history by being so kind and teaching people about being sweet to each other. Amazing.
🥰Love loved this vlog Harry Sire. The markets and real interaction with the people of Kochi. The street that you went "the hassle free" loved it. The street lights 👌Loved the shop that you went to buy coffee. 😍 those ornaments are so beautiful. Thank you for showing this side of Kochi. You are really getting good at speaking Malayalam. Bless you Harry. Hope you are not catching a cold and ginger tea is good for colds. Safe travels. 🙏❤
The reason why people say that in Mumbai and other northern states, have lots of slum areas and it is not clean.. but kerala does not have slums and kerala is the most cleanest state in India.
Getting good with learning the language Harry! Your instinct was spot on that he would likely try to sell you on something else but atleast you let him know upfront you weren’t interested. Where’s Ali been? He’s been MIA for almost a week now. Hope everything is ok with him. Cheers brother..see you on the next one
Hi Harry, nice to see you again in your ferrari hehehe nice to see all those people living in this town.thanks for showing,see you in the next video.....
Great explorer you are and keen to travel around the globe. Welcome to Kerala...🙏🙏. Plz for your kind information and general knowledge....HINDI IS NOT THE NATIONAL LANGUAGE OF INDIA
About the 'swastika' on the Jain temple: "The equilateral cross with its legs bent at right angles is a millennia-old sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism that represents peace and good fortune, and was also used widely by Indigenous people worldwide in a similar vein."
The first jews came and settled in kochi after the destruction of the temple of solomon......kerala used to be a major trade hub for the arabs , egyptians ,romans, chinese ,and greeks , that's why you see the influence of various cultures embeded ...kochi was under the portugese for few years and then the dutch annexed kochi by defeating the portugese...they ruled for a couple of years..the dutch eventually lost their world power after the kingdom of travancore(present day:trivandrum-the capital of kerala) defeated the dutch in the Battle of Colachel in 1741...All religions peacefully co-exist in kerala..there is harmony....Also Malayalam is the official language of kerala..harrry also do visit jatayu earth centre,it is the worlds largest bird sculpture
harry if you are seeing then comment then dont ignore it i would recommend you to go kailsah parvat(mountain) there is a different energy you will feel up there. i dont wether you would have to take china's visa or if there is a direct way now. but you will surely feel that vibe and also see mansarover lake its crystal clear. and only lake present in the world at that height

it is also said that spiritual persons do not need to visit the temples as they have self charging mechanism. unfortunately in most part of India in ancient temples have been destroyed by invaders and the temple building science has been mostly lost because of nearly 1000 years of foreign rule. but if you go to an ancient Temple at least 900 years old in South India and sit near Grabhagriha you will feel the the positive energy.
@Harry Jaggard - The Religious symbol is Swastika - its a ancient Indian symbol, can be found also in all Buddhist counties as Buddism originated from India. This symbol has its origin in Hinduism - *Swastika is a symbol of good luck and Prosperity for all*
What Gemans used is not swastika - Its Hekincross or Hooked Cross - Its origin is from Christianity. So what nazis used is a symbol of Christ, as Hitler originally wanted to be a priest in his young days, and Hooked cross was the main symbol in that Church and still is where he grew up.
Bro try to visit Munnar in Kerala.....near to kochi, Thiruvananthapuram where u can find beaches and world's richest temple... Try to explore Kerala cuisine which is one of the best cuisine in the country....
One of the best in the world🥰🥰🥰
U r just majority by 5% other all r minority lol wait for some year u Hindu commie of Kerala and all those Hindu Mandir will same just like Kashmir lol
Come to kerala again bro❤❤❤
Brother visiting Gangtok, shimla, chandigarh, indore, noida,navy Mumbai, gandhinagar your thought going to change ..by the way kochi is also amazing city .
Harry if you wanna a proper houseboat cruise then head to Allepy District. You'll definitely have fun there.
Curry is not made up of any powder. And curry is NOT equal to masala. Masla means spices. And not all spices are HOT.
im pretty sure the first mosque in India is also in Kerala.
18:47 "ohh outside it's hassle...inside it's hassle free" 😆 🤣 I'm on the floor
That cruise on a scale of ten....
I would give -10
kochi the miami of south asia 🌊🏖️
oh yes!
u should try to visit north east as well as north states of India , they are beautiful with scenic mountains :)
The spice 🍵 tea lady was so nice 😊 and cute …offering you different flavour’s 😘😘
Incorrect information. Kerala is 60% Hindu and the main ethnicity is Malyali people. They're not Tamil.
In U.S. I use crystallized Ginger for upset stomach medicinally. Good to just suck on like a lozenger.
very cool people i would love to go travel around there
You’re keep saying “KAISE HO”…do they even understand that coz they don’t usually understand hindi much…it’s like you’re speaking Czech infront of French people 😅😅😅…india have 22 official languages and many of the people don’t know each other’s languages other than north indian people mostly know hindi…in south they will be more comfortable in ENGLISH than the HINDI 🙂
Go to Andaman and Nicobar islands , I'm sure you will love it.
The first Christian Church and Muslim Mosque is not in Cohin. It's in the neighbouring district, Thrissur.
18:10 this man also welcomed mac😁
Street light looks nice. Should be implemented allover indian streets
10:16 adios chao 😂😂😂😂
Wow you did speak Spanish to the locals.
🤣😂
KOCHI OR COCHIN ......IS A NATURAL HARBOUR ....AND NAVAL BASE ....WELLINGDON ISLAND....AWWW..
SOOOOOO MUCH TO SEE HARRY...WE CAN NEVER DO IT IN ONE LIFETIME...
Just a correction. The last temple you visited wasn't Buddhist but a Jain Temple. Jain is one of the oldest religion in India.
Ah as I thought
Another tourist spots I suggest
Kuttanaad backwaters for houseboating and Munnar for trekking
Visit- Trivandrum (Capital of Kerala)
And LuLu Shopping Mall in Kochi... the biggest in South India
The biggest is trivandrum Lulu. Kochi Lulu is now the second biggest.
Have You Heard About The Indus Valley? Indus Valley Was A South Indian Civilization Of Tamil & Went As Far As Southwest Iran & Iraq. Like Mohenjodaro There Is Kerala-No-Doro It's A Harappan Site 🇮🇳🔱 Been Making Kulukki Sarbat At The Euphrates River Since 5000 BC
First church is not in kochi , it is in different part of kerala , it is the syrian churches built during the first century when St Thomas the disciple of Jesus came to Kerala at AD 57
Hey Harry, you should first visit ancient temples and historical places, reckon you gonna grow much faster.
23:38
All those buildings seem so old & should've been built during the colonial era around the 17th, 18th or 19th century. Similar buildings still exist at the Galle Fort in Sri Lanka.
From New Delhi 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Harry way to go! Hoping you could enjoy this trip more. You are making history by being so kind and teaching people about being sweet to each other. Amazing.
🥰Love loved this vlog Harry Sire. The markets and real interaction with the people of Kochi. The street that you went "the hassle free" loved it. The street lights 👌Loved the shop that you went to buy coffee. 😍 those ornaments are so beautiful. Thank you for showing this side of Kochi. You are really getting good at speaking Malayalam. Bless you Harry. Hope you are not catching a cold and ginger tea is good for colds. Safe travels. 🙏❤
Why people can't understand it... "Chai" means exactly "Tea". 😂😂😂
I have been to south once,One thing I got say,The people were very decent and honest.
These youtuber have a fun life enjoying and earning what a person need more
Kochi was a major Jewish town back in the day; infact Calcutta had a sizeable Jewish population as well. & goats dont carry rabies :D
"kerala doesn't actually feel like india too much" lmao 😂 we can thank the Hollywood and bollywood for that stereotype. India is india its diverse.
The reason why people say that in Mumbai and other northern states, have lots of slum areas and it is not clean.. but kerala does not have slums and kerala is the most cleanest state in India.
@@ancyvarghese165 not true a simple google search can tell you that ,don't try to oversell kerala lol
@@Caramelew I am from kerala and I have visited Mumbai
Enjoy ....feel.like home when you reach India.
Hey Harry, Indian cities like Kochi, Mumbai,Delhi and many more has got metro rail. Please do make a vlog if u travel in those. 😊
15:30 most beautiful view ❤india
Getting good with learning the language Harry! Your instinct was spot on that he would likely try to sell you on something else but atleast you let him know upfront you weren’t interested. Where’s Ali been? He’s been MIA for almost a week now. Hope everything is ok with him. Cheers brother..see you on the next one

Love from 🇱🇰 💞
Hi Harry, nice to see you again in your ferrari hehehe nice to see all those people living in this town.thanks for showing,see you in the next video.....
Sorry to correct you. Its not a Buddhist temple but a temple of the Jain religion
33:46 I just wanted to say that from the video that looks like a Jain Temple not a Buddhist Temple, If I am not wrong.
You are right that's a Jain temple, the rickshaw driver/cum tourist misguided him.
Great explorer you are and keen to travel around the globe. Welcome to Kerala...🙏🙏. Plz for your kind information and general knowledge....HINDI IS NOT THE NATIONAL LANGUAGE OF INDIA
About the 'swastika' on the Jain temple: "The equilateral cross with its legs bent at right angles is a millennia-old sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism that represents peace and good fortune, and was also used widely by Indigenous people worldwide in a similar vein."
About to watch. Have you heard from Ali? He hasn’t anything in couple days. Just making sure all good
ali is ok dont worry!
The first jews came and settled in kochi after the destruction of the temple of solomon......kerala used to be a major trade hub for the arabs , egyptians ,romans, chinese ,and greeks , that's why you see the influence of various cultures embeded ...kochi was under the portugese for few years and then the dutch annexed kochi by defeating the portugese...they ruled for a couple of years..the dutch eventually lost their world power after the kingdom of travancore(present day:trivandrum-the capital of kerala) defeated the dutch in the Battle of Colachel in 1741...All religions peacefully co-exist in kerala..there is harmony....Also Malayalam is the official language of kerala..harrry also do visit jatayu earth centre,it is the worlds largest bird sculpture
I was about to comment regarding this in my long comment to Harry but you definitely beat me on that one 😂
23:50
Ah yes. Dutch Building. The Fort in Galle Sri Lanka too is Dutch built. Similar Architecture.
Hi Harry,
You have done a nice vlog about Kerala. FYI, we do not want to use Hindi in Kerala. We appreciate if you use Malayalam or English.
harry if you are seeing then comment then dont ignore it
i would recommend you to go kailsah parvat(mountain) there is a different energy you will feel up there.
i dont wether you would have to take china's visa or if there is a direct way now. but you will surely feel that vibe and also see mansarover lake its crystal clear. and only lake present in the world at that height
