The Hindu tradition of building. The central kund, the axis mundi, and the vasthu purusha mandala all organizing elements of a very simple but well laid out ashram for a young group. Most spaces our covered on the top but open skinned and allows for the possibility of activities being an energizing part of the stay. Temple like in the Kerala style, but only in its serenity and the power of the outside spaces that lead you to the centre. An ashram on the foot hills of the western ghats with the rain, the elephants and the serendipity.
