In the lap of Western Ghats

Spread across 40 acres at Sakleshpur in the Western Ghats, Swasya Living is a retreat where wellness, organic living and community come together

- Gayathri M Kurup @Bengaluru

Nestled in the heart of the Western Ghats lies Swasya Living, a green haven for all nature lovers. Located at Sakleshpur, it's a space where you can thrive, away from concrete jungles, a space which you must at some point of time crave to run away and hide in. Where only birdsongs and the smell of rain-drenched soil can disrupt your senses. Swasya Living has been set up by Nijish Nair, Ashrith Begur and Avinash Begur. It is something personal—it's a dad's concern to raise his child in the right condition, an escape away from mechanical lives one is taught to live and a sustainable conscious mindset.

"Our managed farmland community isn't just about land ownership; it's about belonging to a vision where wellness, organic living, and community come together," said Ashrith Begur. It began as a personal retreat with two rustic cottages, and soon it turned to something bigger.

"We listed it on Airbnb just to experiment," Nijish says. "We priced it high so only those who respected the space would come." But in just six months, they became superhosts, hosting CEOs and nature lovers alike.

WHEN A CLEAN-UP BECOMES A MESS

A year ago, the idea of a massive nationwide exercise to visit every single household to verify, add, or delete voters was not on anyone’s radar. After all, the Narendra Modi government did not even conduct the mandatory dec-adal census. Chief Election Commi sioner Gyanesh Kumar took charge in February 2025 and, for three months, did not utter the term ‘special intensive revision’ (SIR). Suddenly, one day in June, the CEC announced a nationwide SIR beginning with Bihar. Why so suddenly and so hastily?
