Kshemavana's wholesome blend of traditional art and modern design offers a unique retreat for those seeking wellness amidst cultural enrichment.
-

Nestled amidst tranquil landscapes, Kshemavana stands as a sanctuary where one can reconnect with mind, body, and soul, embracing a mindful way of life. Beyond its serene exterior lies a treasure trove of design and décor that marries tradition with creativity, inviting visitors into a world where every corner tells a story of craftsmanship and cultural heritage.

Designed by Ayush Kasliwal of AKDA and Maahesh P. Doiphode of Maasterminnds Architects and Interior Designers, Kshemavana is a pleasant 60 km drive from the Bengaluru airport, leading to a sprawling 23-acre property immersed in soulful architecture and design. Constructed on the grounds of an old brick factory, the project led by Shreyas Kkumar from SDM group of Institutes is rooted in sustainability, restoration and tradition. At the heart of Kshemavana's charm are its meticulously curated interiors, where each piece of décor is a testament to its rich history and artistic lineage. The journey begins with a majestic Kinnala Peacock, crafted by Chitragara from Kopal District, setting the tone for the sanctuary's cultural tapestry. The first thing that strikes you is the large building with a tortoise-shaped roof. As you soak in the grandeur and calm of the space, you realize that the ambience instantly puts your body at ease. Natural textures, traditional materials, and thoughtful artworks draw your attention, but it is the overall calm that strikes you the most.
