Story and intention

The village is built upon the hands and wisdom of the tribal people of Wayanad. Together, they crafted the cottages using ancient Vaastu techniques passed down through generations. Every brick, each wall, and every corner is created by hand, using natural materials. Each element chosen for its sustainable and natural healing properties and the deep connection to the land.

The walls and floors are made of handmade mud bricks, infused with medicinal herbs, clay, hibiscus flowers, brown rice husk, cow dung and flax seed oil, combined with golden clay from the hills of Wayanad. The women plastered the room walls with hands putting this rare mountain clay, performing rituals while chanting.

This golden clay offers a deep sense of calm and peace, and ensures a cool climate on hot summer days. It is said that the feeling of being in these rooms is akin to being cradled in the womb, soothing the nervous system and bringing a sense of tranquility.
