Set amidst the beautiful Velliangiri mountains, lying nestled at its foothills of the Nilgiris, are the newly constructed Chamundi cottages. These cottages are the recently built residential apartments in the Isha Yoga Center, Coimbatore. The cottages will be officially inaugurated on the 1st of April 2010.
The building is shaped like a rectangle. There are many beetle nut trees inside and outside the block. The building consists of three floors. Each floor has fifty five rooms. There are totally 165 rooms. Each room has a bathroom and a bedroom.
The blocks have been built for the residents of Isha Yoga Center and teachers and faculty of Isha Home School. “Since many people attend the programmes the existing cottages are full and booked for almost the entire year, so there is a need to accommodate more people. The residents in the current blocks will move to the new Chamundi cottages, evacuating the space for program participants,” says the coordinator of the cottage stay area.
People expressed their opinions about the new cottages. Varun a student says, “I like the colour of the building. It looks fascinating with trees.” Prashanth said, “Even though it doesn’t look like a five star hotel, it is functional and provides all the necessary facilities.”
