Every time I go past rural India, I stop by at the village houses. They are simple, functional and have a charm of their own. I know I will find it difficult to adjust to the houses, but I cant stop admiring them. Tell me which one would you like to own.
I have not had too much time to blog or follow posts for the last couple of weeks, but I have been busy with some friends who were visiting. Ive also been tied up with a couple of projects in the travel space and will be sharing them with you guys by the end of this month
Not much of travel and travel writing has happenned either, except that Paramount Airlines published my story on Ashtamudi in their in flight magazine , Windows and Aisles, while my column in the Inside Story in Metro Plus last week was about Darasuram, a Chola town of the 12th century.
Loved all the pictures capturing life in Indian villages and I read your column in The Hindu that you linked. Nice writing, lady!
The first one !
All the pics are very nice!! I liked the painted ones… loved the colours..
Good One…
Beautiful post… i like the colors of the last one…
๐
The last one reminds me of St. Joseph Boys’ Village where I visited a number of years ago. On laundry day the wash was hung over the porches like that. That seems to be a large house for a village.
ha I would prefer one of those with many “levels” as they say ๐
Hey
Nice to be busy… been reading ur stuff in the paper- ๐
Loved the last but one pic, that was a sight to see.. others i’ve been seeing on n off ๐
see ya nxt wk!!
I think the last one. Infact, i have lived in this kind of house. U r cordially invited to have a dekko at an amazing waterfall video on my blog Maykhaana.blogspot.com
charming!
the first one is certainly lovely, but what truly makes these huts real “palaces of the Kingdom of heaven” is the warm n generous hearts and loving smiles of the simple folk living within…
a life-changing experience! ๐
aww lovely pics…I’d choose the last one for me ๐
The villages of India have their own charm and it is great that u have been to beautiful places in this great country. Nice pictures!!
The house at the last but one would be a luxury for a Mumbaikar. All pictures represent true rural life. Thanks.
Beautiful!
I’m mix n match things from different houses and build one for me. I want a courtyard, cowdung smeared floor and little holes in wall for ventilation. ๐
I loved the first two pictures! You are quite the travel writer now, aren’t you? ๐
These are all very beautiful…I’d live in any of them any time as long as I had nice neighbors which I’m sure is the case
That is a lot of publishing Lakshmi!
Very nice blog, with beautiful photos. Congratulations
I second what Priyank says. These pictures remind me of my grand parent’s village.
Congrats on your magazine articles.
Read your article on “The Hindu”… It was good.
I would pick any of them!
The article in the Hindu was very good.
Lovely pictures ๐ the white house with the bougainvilleas is my fave ๐
poor village
I love always visiting and staying in villages, in the above pics every home has something to experience. Have nice times with your friends ๐
Hi Lakshmi! Sorry for the absence, but Iโve been busy with my parentsโ health; almost 180 years to care… ๐
Congrats for your writing success! No wonder, seeing your fabulous posts!! Love it!

WOW!!! I love the pics! that’s so amazing. I’m gonna do the very same thing soon. In Sept i’d be going to India for 6 months to explore india! I hope to catch good pictures like these. Thanks a bunch!!
I love that door…. and the second last pic also… pretty awesome
The charm of rural India… Hey, congratulations on the publishings.:)
I love the first photo for that swirly decor accessory ๐ Thats one of those silkworm mats isnt it?
Oh yes, and how could I miss the watch-goat?
Flowers really hit the spot for me so that white-washed wall with flowers clambering over it looked oh so charming.
But then, colours do it for me too … and I loved that almost technocolour blast in the last pic.
outstanding photos! love your posts!
nice article and very nice photos.
Must be very cooling and cosy inside these village houses!
