Kozhikode is also known as Calicut, a city along the Malabar Coast in the state of Kerala in India that was visited by the fleet of Admiral Cheng Ho, and the home to calico, a fine hand-cotton fabric export of Calicut.
Ma Huan (1403), a Chinese sailor accompanying Cheng Ho, lauds Kozhikode as a great emporium of trade frequented by merchants from around the world. He notes the 30 mosques built to cater to the religious needs of the Muslims in the city, the unique system of calculation by the merchants using their fingers and toes and the matrilineal system of succession.
