The Ernakulam Market Area is the bustling commercial heart of mainland Kochi, centered around the historic Broadway bazaar and extending along MG Road. This vibrant zone offers an authentic taste of everyday Kerala urban life, far removed from the tourist-oriented Fort Kochi.
Ernakulam developed as a commercial center in the 19th century under the Kochi kingdom and later the British. Broadway was established as the city's main market street and has retained its character despite modernization. The area around Ernakulam Junction railway station became the commercial nerve center after Independence.
