The Thripunithura terminal station of the Kochi Metro will have a museum dedicated to Kerala’s traditional dance forms, considering that it is located in Thripunithura town where traditional dance and art forms have a wide following, it is learnt.
This will be a key attraction at the station that will have the theme ‘Dances of Kerala’ . A total of 10 sculptures of dancers in various ‘mudras’ will adorn the station, while exhibits at the museum will enable commuters and others to have a glimpse of the dance forms. The work on the station, museum, and the commercial space is going on through day and night to enable the metro’s extension beyond SN Junction, sources said.
Metro stations in the Aluva-SN Junction corridor have unique themes in keeping with, among others, the history of their locations. The two other stations in Thripunithura have their own themes. While the SN Junction station has ‘Ayurveda’, the theme for the Vadakkekota station is ‘Kerala’s role in the freedom struggle’.
