The CHAMUNDI HILL PALACE is actually an aristocratic family home converted into a small center to promote Ayurveda, not what is called a resort.

This house belonged to Saroja's husband where they came from time to time between their stays in Munnar or Trivandrum. She really liked this place which she found completely magical.

The rest of the events were one of the consequences of the active manifestation of the goddess.

It started in 2000, her husband passed away two years later, which was a huge shock, but the joy of serving ayurveda, the family atmosphere where each member of the staff venerates her as a mother bring her the joy of a refined and simple soul. She lives in the big house, modestly, and meets the hosts from time to time.

But they say over there that it is the Goddess who chooses the clients ...
