Thapovan
is nestled within verdant surroundings... just away from the din and
bustle of city life. Perched exquisitely on top of a hillock and
cliff, the heritage home is bordered by the virgin Nellikunnu beach.
It also lies in proximity to other tourist attractions like Kovalam,
Thiruvallam and Vellayani.
The cosy shade of
swaying coconut palms. The caressing roar of the majestic sea. The
divine fragrance of Thulasi. The stimulating rhythms of Kathakali. The
secure confines of Nalukettu... The enchanting notes of Kerala come
alive in the idyllic surroundings of Thapovan. The heritage home where
the Gods would love to come to rest.
Architectural marvels in
wood. Carved religiously on the principles of Thachushastra- the
mystical science of engineering. Gabled roof, imposing wood columns at
the entrance, panelled walls...Step in and transport yourself into a
pristine world that had challenged technology with aesthetic
ingenuity.
Golden flames flickering in exquisite Thookkuvilakku (hanging lamps)
was its answer to electricity. Water in charmingly designed basins for
air conditioning. And the architectural genius of yore that allowed
unhindered flow of cool air through all rooms.
In
the courtyard, a few paces in front of the entrance door, is the
Thulasithara. A three feet high structure holding the hallowed Thulasi
plant. It symbolises the presence of the divine.
Relax peacefully in this serene ambience. You will be caressed by the
soft roar of the waves. The virgin Nellikunnu beach is just a two
minutes walk from the homes.
Location
The heritage home is
situated 18 Kms south of Trivandrum in Nellikunnu. The charming
capital of God’s own country is just a few minutes drive from the
Trivandrum international airport.
