The hall displays intricately carved furniture and royal artefacts, reflecting the authority, lifestyle, and cultural influence of Kerala’s only Muslim royal family.
The Arakkal Kettu Museum, part of the former palace complex of the Arakkal Ali Rajas in Kannur, reflects Kerala’s only Muslim royal family’s heritage. The tiled-roof structures and surrounding mosques within the compound highlight traditional Kerala architecture. The museum preserves artefacts of maritime trade, royal administration, and cultural legacy.
Artifacts displayed at the Arakkal Kettu Museum include traditional vessels, lamps, and heirlooms that once belonged to the Arakkal Ali Rajas, Kerala’s only Muslim royal family.
