During the hot summer season the tropical fruits here grow in abundance. Mango, pineapple and bananas continue producing all year long but this is the season for jackfruit. These large textured lobes are hanging heavy on trees throughout Kerala.
The rough outer skin protects the fruit from the birds.
Here is what's inside.
Jasmine is also in bloom. Entrepreneurial merchants can be spotted all along the roads selling these blooms strung one by one into garland.
Called mulla (short for mullapu in Malayalam) it is the flower of the Kerala woman.
The scent of jasmine will follow you wherever you go.
