Overview
The Kochini culture is that of the Jewish community of Kochi, on the Malabar coast of southwestern India. One of the oldest Jewish communities of the subcontinent, they lived for centuries among the peoples of Kerala.
Settled in a great centre of the spice trade, the Kochini were closely associated with the commerce that drew merchants to the Malabar coast from across the Indian Ocean and beyond.
The community preserved the Jewish faith and its religious traditions while adapting to life in India, maintaining synagogues and observances far from the other centres of the Jewish world.
An ancient and distinctive diaspora community, the Kochini wove the Jewish tradition into the rich cultural fabric of the Indian coast.
