At Vaverle
Nestled in the midst of the Sayadhri range on a hillock in the village of Vavarle, overlooking the gray waters of the Morbe dam across the stately serpent hill sits ‘Tara’. Legend has it that when Lord Vishnu reclined in the position of the sleeping snake uncoils, creation takes place and Time moves forward.
In the year 2015, Time moved forward. My husband & I opened ‘Tara’- our dream, our home, our retreat and our space to new stories and amazing conversations and new forms of expression. We hope that over the years we are able to continue to add many more new, inspiring, and exciting experiences to our list.
