Mangala Heritage
Mangala Heritage
The front block of Mangala is the original 120-year-old Tamil house that has been painstakingly restored. The front thinnai (sit-out) and main entrance greet you. Inside the house, a water body with floating steps leads you through a walled portal into the open-air courtyard of the more recently added rear block.
Central Courtyard
As you walk through the beautifully carved main door, you enter the central sunken courtyard of the house, surrounded by a running passageway on all sides. This is open to the sky and bordered by beautiful teak pillars. On your left is a beautiful inscription by the 7th-century Nayanmar poet-saint, Appar. Gorgeous still-life photographs grace the walls. The ceiling rafters are painted in white and grey, lending a cool and contemporary aesthetic to the space. Behind the courtyard, the passageway is lined with a wall full of small painted pictures drawn on palm leaf. On its opposite side is an old console decorated with artefacts.
Air-conditioned Lounge
On your right, is a small, air-conditioned lounge with divans and large cushions that can seat up to 6 guests. Adjacent to this and facing the courtyard is a larger seating area with two large swings – a relaxing space to gossip and while away time. The wall behind the swings is decorated with a collection of antique mirrors.
2 Standard Rooms
Leading from the wall of small painted pictures behind the courtyard, one room is on your left and one is on your right, mirroring each other exactly. Each of the rooms has a king-size bed and a thinnai, or platform, on which an extra mattress can be placed (for a 3rd guest).
The printed headboards taken from old photographs of temple dancers are the highlight of each room. There is a desk and chair with a small collection of books. Glass doors lead to the bathroom which has a skylight and is fitted out with modern amenities. Mosquito nets are available on request.
2 Superior Bedrooms
A long passageway lined with alcoves filled with folk art leads you to the Superior Bedrooms. These bedrooms are similar to the Standard Rooms in style and décor, but they are larger rooms. They also contain a dressing room, with a built-in extra bed, so they can accommodate three guests each.
Rear Courtyard
A large citrus tree dominates this open courtyard.
Dining Area
This Nandi-themed space has seating for 6-8 guests. A beautiful etched Nandi panel is installed on one wall. A closer look reveals detailed inscriptions taken from Hindu scriptures. Lining the length of the dining area is a collection of cast-cement Nandi statues in the colours of the spectrum.
Second dining area
With walls painted in orange and yellow stripes, this dining area takes inspiration from the red and white stripes of Tamil temples. A powder room is adjacent. The two dining areas share a kitchen, from which delicious local food makes its way out to be served on banana leaves.

The stay was exceptional. Meiji was a great host. The cook Amma's food was very nice and we had great food and a great stay. The place reminded me of our old house, thank you for creating a Tamil experience.
