They do a good job going though the history for this old synagogue, though a very small exhibit. Worth visiting, but don't expect much. No pictures inside.

One of the best Synagogue we ever visited, not only history but also the architecture. The Chandalliers and the hand painted floor tiles are excellent. Worth the visit.

Not enough Jews are around for it to function full mast all through the year - so mostly functions when the Jewish tourists pour in to the city. The structure, tiles, the museum with the story of Jews in Kerala, all promise an...

The synagogue displays some historical pieces and highlights a small community of Jewish immigrants. The market of spices and all kinds of souvenirs bear a look and perhaps a purchase. The spice shop offered everything spicy!
