There are many more features in Heritage Marari, belonging to the bygone era and we are offering you a chance to live the life of a Malayali, in all authenticity. Another ode from the simple village life of Keralites.
At the property we have the ‘Thulasithara’, a structure found in the courtyard of Hindu households, where the Tulsi plants are grown and taken care of. The sloping roof with tiles made of clay, gives a rustic look to the cottages. Besides, these are original, traditional pieces taken from buildings which were being demolished or reconstructed from their original form. It is a way of showing that the construction remains in harmony with nature as the wood being used was once a part of the same environment. The wooden structure is a pointer to the importance ‘Thachu Shastra’ or the science of Carpentry, had in the architecture of Kerala houses. Every part of the construction was carefully and craftfully chosen to be in line with the ethnicity. When Heritage Marari’s cottages were being designed, all Bruce and his father had in mind was to preserve this historic trace for people to experience. In addition, it is also based on the Indian Vedic Architectural Science Or Vastu Shaastra. This has influenced in shaping a unique architectural pattern in our beautiful state. Furthermore, Kerala was an important trade hub with the major civilizations like the Egyptian, Arabian, etc. It is shaped to be harmonized with the harsh summer and the heavy monsoon. The major reasons for this difference can be the climatic and historic factors of the region. Kerala architecture is one that stays different from the Dravidian culture followed in the other Southern states of India. This sheds more light on the effort and hardwork put into the making of our cottages in the traditional style. “The authentically rebuilt ‘Kerala houses’ are beautiful and of higher standards than many much more expensive hotel rooms.”- read a review written by Theodore, an Austrian tourist who visited Heritage Marari.
