Explanation

Vasco da Gama reached India at Kozhikode (Calicut) on the Malabar Coast of Kerala in 1498. This was the first recorded direct voyage from Europe to India via the Cape of Good Hope, opening the sea route to Asia. Tamralipta is in Bengal (east coast), Kanyakumari is the southernmost tip, and Calicut (Kalikat) was indeed his landing port.
