Photo: Inside the Pardesi Synagogue in Mattancherry's "Jewtown," near Fort Kochi. There is an interesting and surprising history of Judaism in Kerala, and still a small number of Jewish people live there. The synagogue was originally built in 1568, then destroyed by cannon fire in a Portuguese raid and then rebuilt in the 1660s.
