Overview
My lifelong connection to this cherished harvest festival ensures an immersive and genuine celebration for guests. The experience is coupled with the location. A functional farm, farm house, farm animals, traditional cooking set up and equipments along with the traditional cuisine.
The farm’s serene rural setting and the farm house mirrors the traditional environment where Pongal is celebrated, allowing rituals like boiling fresh milk and creating kolams to unfold authentically. Guests actively participate in cooking Pongal rice, feeding animals, and exploring the land, fostering a hands-on connection to the festival’s agricultural roots.
I enrich every activity with storytelling, sharing the history and meaning behind Pongal’s rituals, creating a deeper appreciation of Tamil heritage. With warm hospitality, I ensure an inclusive and unforgettable experience that bridges cultures, leaving guests with lasting memories and a heartfelt connection to Tamil traditions.
