A rich person named Ali used to live there at that time and owned many plantations of mangoes and coconut in his garden, Hence the local called the place Alichibagh and the name struck to Alibag For the stressed city goers, Alibag poses as a weekend destination. "Gandhar" The 3rd note in the melodious garland of Indian swaras, has sky as its element. Sky connotes space, calm and serenity. Our aim in the proposed project in the village That off Alibag is to allow the vastness of the sky to seep into the lives of our guests. Allow our guests to imbibe the serenity of the space and go back to their daily routine with a calm and content being. The stay is a quaint bamboo cottage.
Bamboo has a great significance. Its long life makes it a Chinese symbol of longevity, while in India it is a symbol of friendship. Bamboo has some unique features such as uprightness, tenacity and hollow heart. People endow bamboo with integrity, elegance, and plainness, though it is not physically strong. Bamboo has numerous utility value- construction, culinary, medicine, textile, furniture, ornamentation. Bamboo is used as a metaphor to revisit our value systems in today's tech-connected world.
