문화적 배경
In Kerala, the 'Valiya kada' is often a landmark for giving directions because street names are rarely used. The rise of 'Valiya kadakal' in Kerala is directly linked to the wealth brought back by Malayalis working in the Middle East. Shopping at a 'Valiya kada' is often a family event on weekends, reflecting the strong family bonds in Malayali culture. The term is slowly being replaced by 'Mall' among the youth, but 'Valiya kada' remains the heart-language term.
