We also have smaller air-conditioned meeting venues for select gatherings.
This is no idle boast that Kozhikode breathes easier because of our lawns and gardens. We have won many prizes and earned a reputation as good gardens!
In the evenings, when it doesn’t rain, we serve food and drinks here for family functions, celebrations and get-togethers. For children, running about with bare feet is highly recommended!
Thousands of wedding pictures have been clicked at Alakapuri, and many thousands of invitees have commented that our sadhya is the best they have ever tasted!

Tucked away in a safe, sandy corner, we have a see-saw, a sliding board and a merry-go-round for our valued younger customers.
It gives us sheer joy when excited voices exclaim, “See, this is where your mummy also played…!” At Alakapuri, “The more things change, the more they remain the same” holds true!
