Bekal Fort

The laterite fort in north Malabar built by the Ikkeri Naikas.

The salty atmosphere or the ever lapping salty seawater could do no damage to this sea projecting fortification. That speaks of the endurance of laterite as a building material

If you've watched the Mani Ratnam movie 'Bombay' movie , this photograph should ring a bell. The song 'Uyire Uyire..' / 'Tu Hi Re..' was shot on these bastions.
