I am from Kerala, so I can answer this question. God's own country Kerala iswell known for its diverse forms of arts. Kerala has been one of the most cultured and peace-loving states in India has considerably influenced by the huge number of people from the Malayalis and Dravidian's race. Kerala's cultural heritage iscenturies old. The various communities in Kerala contribute to its rich and colorful culture. Kerala is the home for a variety of unique art forms which shows the social and cultural life of people in the state. Also, Kerala is known for its greenery and natural beauty. This makes the land, Kerala popular among people across the whole world.
Kerala is not called the cultural capital of India. That nickname goes to the city Kolkata, previously Calcutta. This city is found in West Bengal, and is actually the capital of West Bengal. The reason Kolkata is considered the cultural capital of India is because of its part in international relations.
Kolkata was once the only entrance to India for foreigners, and it was once the capital of the British India. This means that there’s a lot of British influence here, but there’s also a lot of Indian influence in the city.
Thanks to the years it spent as a cultural hub, it’s still seen as one today and is an often-visited city by foreigners and natives alike for the cultural scene.
