Interiors of the Lulu Mall, Ernakulam.

A picture of the interiors of the Lulu International Shopping Mall at Idapalli, Ernakulam, Kerala, as seen towards the entrance. This is the second largest shopping mall in India by size. The mall is owned by the EMKE Group headquartered at Abu Dhabi, UAE. Lulu Mall Ernakulam is one of the most luxurious, appointed and well-laid out malls I have ever seen in India, with hardly any detail being left out. It is also the first “real” mall to open in Kerala, traditionally opposed to such shows of wealth, “modernity” and consumerism. But times are a changing.
