kandath tharavad

My place is close to public transport and the city center. You’ll love my place because of the outdoors space, the neighborhood, and the comfy bed. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and families (with kids). Kandath Tharavad the ancestral home of the Kandath family is set in the lush rice paddies of rural Kerala in South India. The house is a two hundred year – old gem of domestic architecture constructed primarily of mud and teak.The house was built in 1794 by Bhagwaldas’s Great Great Grandfather,Mr. Kuppavelan, a landowner and money – lender. Situated in Thenkurussi Village in Palakkad, the nearest town, an equidistant two-hour drive from Cochin airport to the West or Coimbatore to the East. The Most striking feature of the house is the frontal raised area (“Purathalum”) with grand bulbous pillars fashioned in teak at each corner rising to glorious carvings of elephants, snakes, fish and dragons. The floor is covered in natural dyed tiles of ochre, terracotta and blue. It was here until Bhagwaldas’s Grandfather died in the seventies that the serious business of money – lending took place – most of it tiding the locals over between rice-crops The whole house is open to all Guests. They can find their own spot to relax. I will be with the Guests on all activities and availble in the house at all times. All meals are with the Guests. The house is set in a small village in the midst of rice paddies. We do have one Bus that runs through the village four times a day. Auto Rikshaws are also available.
