Street Scene, Palghat

With the exceptions of Bangalore and Belgaum, there are not many postcards of smaller cities in Karnataka; even today, Palakkad's population is less than 150,000. This shot of a large mansion concealed by trees on the left and carts in the center of a wide road must be one of the earliest, if not the first and among the only postcards of this forested area in the gap between the Western Ghats.
