Renovated Tali pond in Kozhikode thrown open to public

Mural paintings showcasing history and heritage of the Zamorins among attractions

A clear pond with two bathing ghats, granite bleachers on the sides, and a sturdy wall around — the Tali pond in Kozhikode is no more what it used to be. The pond, attached to the Tali Mahadeva temple, has got a facelift under the Tali Heritage Project executed by the District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC). Minister for Public Works and Tourism P.A. Mohamed Riyas threw open the renovated pond to the public on Friday. Besides securing the boundaries of the pond, the project included art works on the eastern side of the pond, close to the Zamorin’s Higher Secondary School.
