In this episode, we journey back to the time of the Chera Dynasty to explore the confluence of trade, faith, and culture between Kerala and the Arab world. As we delve into the mystical story of Cheraman Perumal's conversion and the historic trading bonds with Arab merchants—who held a monopoly over the Indian Ocean spice trade—we unearth how these relationships cemented their place in society. But the Arabs didn't just trade spices; their dhows also brought in faith, culture, and even cuisine.
