Once the seat of the British Resident, flag flown high above the island.
Island
Bolghatty Island lies across Kochi's backwaters and is known for its palace and leafy waterfront setting. During the colonial period it was the seat of the British Resident; the Residency stood among the trees, with the British Ensign once flown from a flagstaff high above the island. Today the island is reached by road and ferry connections from the mainland and is a quieter contrast to Fort Kochi's busier waterfront.

Fact 1 of 1: Bolghatty Island, also called Ponyekurra, was chosen as the picturesque seat of the British Resident. The Residency bungalow stood among the trees, and the British Ensign was famously flown from a flagstaff lashed to the summit of one of the island's highest trees.
