Spice Plantation and Wildlife Park
... plantation we saw ornamental fencing which was strung for a visit by the bishop. Kerala is 40% Hindu, 30% Christian with a majority being Catholics, 12% Muslim, and the rest tribal. This fencing is a rope with coconut fronds formed into decorative shapes, resembling origami shapes hanging down from the ropes.
