A brief introduction to my home state.

Kelantan, cradle of Malay culture. Kota Bharu or affectionally known as KB is the capital. Kelantan is situated in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia & bordering Thailand to the north, Trengganu to the south & facing South China Sea to the east. Kelantan is famous for its cottage industry such as batik printing, songket, woodcarvings, silver/ pewter/ brass work & bamboo handicraft.

It is also famed for its cultural legacies such as wayang kulit (puppet shadow play), dikir barat, gasing (top-spinning), kertok, rebana ubi (rebana drum), giant kites, etc.
