In Kerala, the temple is defined as the nucleus of social and cultural lifestyle, which also marks the origin of multiple settlements in the state. This chapter investigates the architectural elements in visual perception of the heritage and sacred built-ups of the Konkani temple settlement at Kochi, Kerala, and their implication adopted throughout the settlement. This study follows the direct observation, documentation, and survey process to collect all relevant data contributing to the visual perception and quality of built heritage in the Konkani settlement. Some pertinent architectural elements of heritage quality used in sacred build-ups, including entrance porches, building forms, serial vision, spatial configuration, and traditional ornamentation, were identified, which directly improved the visual image of the settlement. Over the years, multiple unsuccessful attempts have been made to conserve this settlement’s intangible and built heritage quality. One such attempt is an inscription of Mattancherry Palace in the UNESCO WHC tentative list (July 1998). The findings and analysis will support reframing policy and framework inclusive of urban heritage management in sacred temple settlements.
