Tharavad Heritage

CULTURAL HERITAGE

Project description

Cottages have a unique architectural concept, and each has its own tale. A cluster of 100 to 150-year-old “tharavad” houses were dismantled from various locations and reassembled at Coconut Lagoon in accordance with “thachusastra”, the ancient rules of carpentry, so that a traditional ambience has been recreated.

This project contributes to the following Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda
