Accommodation |
|
Though
all cottages vary in configuration,
and some of the air-conditioned
units are newly built replicas
incorporating only fragments of old
tharawads that could not be saved in
their entirely, Coconut Lagoon
offers three basic types of
accommodation: Heritage Mansions,
Heritage Bungalows and Private pool
villas. The former have two stories,
the upstairs bedroom gallery
offering particularly magnificent
views of Lake Vembanad.
The latter are more compact,
single-level cottages. Both are
furnished in aiyny and jack woods, and
retain all the charm of original
family homes, with thick, solid
doors, intricate window carvings,
and terra cotta tile floors.
Structurally necessary alternations
have been carried out with
consummate discretion, i.e., in
keeping with the style and decor of
the era, and great attention has
been paid to every detail. The
lampstands in each tharawad, for
example, having been carved from old
wooden hinges. Traditionally, of
course, Keralites bathed in the
rivers - in rural areas many people
still do - but Coconut Lagoon's
cottages feature ultramodern
bathrooms, each located, in an inner
courtyard boasting its own banana
(or coconut) tree, so you can shower
al fresco under a starlit sky in
complete and utter privacy!

Ayurveda |
|
Ayurveda originated in India over
5,000 years ago. Literally meaning
'knowledge of life', ayurveda helps
to rediscover health, quality and
elegance of human life. Following
this holistic stream, Lakesong
Ayurkshethra the 'Temple of Life'
brings forth the true concept of
ayurveda and Yoga, to help your
tired body on to a path of health
recovery with traditional
rejuvenation techniques . Lakesong
Ayurkshethra is housed in an
elaborate traditional model
structure with decorative
handcrafted wooden carvings that
will take you back in time and
heritage.
BASIC
CONCEPTS
Life in Ayurveda is conceived as the
union of body, senses, mind and
soul. The living man is a
conglomeration of three humours (Vata,
Pitta &Kapha), seven basic tissues
(Rasa, Rakta, Mansa, Meda, Asthi,
Majja & Shukra) and the waste
products of the body such as faeces,
urine and sweat. Thus the total body
matrix comprises of the humours, the
tissues and the waste products of
the body. The growth and decay of
this body matrix and its
constituents revolve around food,
which gets processed into humours,
tissues and wastes. Ingestion,
digestion, absorption, assimilation
and metabolism of food have an
interplay in health and disease
which are significantly affected by
psychological mechanisms as well as
by bio- fire (Agni).
