According to sources, the Tali Temple, Kuttichira pond, and the Butt Road beach are being developed to reflect the cultural heritage of Kozhikode. A sum of ₹2 crore is being spent to renovate the Tali Temple pond and surroundings. A museum depicting the history of the Zamorin dynasty is also being set up there.
