Thavaru Location

Against a scenic backdrop of rocky hills hewn out of local granite, a mere fifteen minutes drive from the town of Kolar, lies the historic Devarayana Samudra village. Named after King Krishnadevaraya of Vijayanagar (1509-20), it is the chief among the ashta gramas (eight villages) gifted to his aasthana purohits during his rule. This beautiful lake side village at the foot of Hollai Betta, is surrounded by ancient temples. Several thirtha sthalas like Avani, Antharagange, Kurudumalai and Bangara Thirupathi lie within a few kilometers of its surroundings.

A community living center designed with the aim of providing a space, where senior people can live with minimum responsibilities. Away from the hustle of the city life, live in the quietness of unpolluted fresh air, starry skies yet close enough to get to the city (Bangalore M.G. road about an hour) whenever they wish. Based on the concept of once upon a time large family courtyard homes, it aims at recreating a dream, lost in the wilderness of time and change. A place where siblings,family and friends can relive their bygone days.
