Some people in comment section think it's just a normal mud structure that can not tolerate water. I wanted to tell them that this is not any ordinary mud structure it's called compressed earth or rammed earth structure which is very stable and water tolerant. It's not gonna fall in rainy season. There are some 1000 year old structures made from compressed earth. I bet you all have heard about the great wall of china. That's made of rammed earth.

[@saiprayastha7141]

Thank you.... my doubt got cleared

[@geetajaishankar4092]

What is location of this mitti mane.Are we permitted to visit this place.

[@harshittandel4348]

At my hometown, we are having 130 y old complet mud house ,build by my great grandfather. My mom stays alone thr now...and usually we visit thr. Many of my relatives ask , why you don't break this house and build nice Bunglow. But they won't understand , how pride we feel in such old house. Still we cook on wood fire. No concrete or tiles at floor only we spray cow dung. Many of neighbors build concrete house and in summer they fe like they are in ovan. And we don't use fan also .

[@cilantro4]

This community is Subconscious blooming into Consciousness effortlessly..

[@RanjiniGanesh]

Felt so happy to see this community living so happily with nature. Please kindly share the Architects and builders number/ details, so that we can get in touch with them.

[@deepikasaripalli8920]

Wow.... I miss Bengaluru.... Lots of love to those who's taken the initiative and made it successful. I'd wish to be part of them.

[@myselfandpesit]

Despite built of mud bricks they look really clean, beautiful and give a sense of closeness to nature. The success of this community is the bond between people. Way to go..

[@NiranjanDecember]

Simply love this concept. The whole surrounding looks so peaceful and soul filling.

[@praveenkanakadandila5145]

I wish we had such people in hyderabad. If ever I move to Bangalore, I want to live in this community 😍

[@anitainmo489]

Wow, this is awesome and an inspiration for others. Seeing how Bangalore has been destroyed and made into a concrete jungle, this is what is needed. Well done.

[@roopa4950]

Beautiful & realistic liveing. Hope to see more of them in future.

[@shailendramp]

In rural karnataka we already have this culture in every villages houses are made by mannu ( Soil ) called manina mane. These all doing some fusion inthese now😂

[@chikmagaluronline9570]

We had this culture, current generation is obsessed with concere even in rural Karnataka which is unfortunate.

It is not sand - it is a special kind of red soil which is kneaded into dough and stacked.

These houses are so beautiful 😍

[@indude8791]

This concept of mud house, staying away from main city is good. But staying away from city is not practical for many who have to commute to work place or for those who require regular medical services.

[@angelialvares]

In this global warming scenario, mud is the only way to go. A cement roof radiates the heat downwards all night long even despite having an ac...so you have a sleepless night. A natural tiled roof with metal or wood rafters, some zinc sheets and a final layer of reefers and mud tiles are the best roofing for good healthy and safe living.

[@seemaoak469]

So beautiful houses.

[@VeeraRaghavan]

Sadly, most of these communes are expensive & far away. I chose a village in Nilgiris in a far away hamlet with just 25 families. That's the best decision I took. I live in a rented room, with a car park & don't spend more than 6 to 8 k a month as a vegetarian..

[@dollsoffingers]

I watched Reva Malik and her husband's old interview in their mud house some years back (may be a year or two, not sure now). That video inspired me to build my sustainable house. I hope I would be able to build a sustainable house in the future.

Would love to join these trailblazers - in a modern world where protecting what’s left of the pillaged earth is crucial. Please, those of you who have are already part of this movement, help start another community and many of us interested to retire in such a community will have an opportunity to join you in your endeavour. I’m truly interested.

I see many comments about flood and climate withstanding of these mud houses, Rammed earth with use of Bamboo stick is a great solution which can even with stand earthquakes, in summer its 10-15 degree colder inside and in winter its 10-15 degree warmer then outside.

The reason for hybrid is just that - where is a pure line today that can sustain itself? Hybrid is built for sustenance. The name itself attracted so many comments! Mannina mane would have bypassed a cursory look, let alone scrutiny like this! Purpose served! It’s like hearing different accents - we perk up, pay attention and...listen!

It is sad to see that nobody wanted to share the address neither interested that any outsider s Join. It's basically close south indian community with like minded people. This is nothing new neither something extraordinary great, just few Rich people came together to tell others how to cool we are. What about child education,rainy season trauma,tunkur side climate is so hot. Similar kind of concept is there everywhere like auroville. Unless and untill indian govt taking initiative to save our eco standard living no one can save it. Views are personal. Thanks
