Indigenous Architecture. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Indigenous architecture of Kerala
A proud heritage it gives
In temples, palaces, of old era
Remembrance of a proud legacy.

In black granite, rosewood, and Teak
Marvelous sculptures made
Different mode of medium
Indigenous architecture wonderful.

Before advent of modern Engineering
They created these marvels
Applied the mathematics and scales
The great men of creative geniuses.

Construction methods were strenuous
Equipment even for perforation missing
But their mission and dedication great
The greatness of creativity intangible.
