Dear team kindly provide their informations in the description. Even though people from Tamilnadu including me also are struggling to get their information, then just think about North Indian brothers & sisters who aspire to inculcate these kinds of techniques. Hope you guys will consider about this and provide details in your upcoming videos 🇮🇳❤️

[@primordialbeing]

Scroll should do more of such docuseries. Awesome work.

[@prathmeshsalunkhe1930]

[@anburam-yf4we]

[@onenation9436]

Jai Sri Ram..ancient. and stronger ough.love it 🙏

[@sharingiscaring6258]

@Scroll.in you need to provide contact information of those people who can help people build eco houses too. Just interviewing them and making a video will do only less.

[@THEDESTROYER63]

Now these are the things which satisfy me in this modern age where we are forgetting our rich heritage.

[@Kalyan-s9f]

So it's environmentally friendly and CHEAPER TOO? That's fantastic, gives me so much more hope for a sustainable future for humanity - and India will lead that charge.

[@taifshams]

India can be an amazing amazing country. Only problem is the people we elect.

[@sanafizasana4351]

[@rrsk88_farming]

politicians divide us in religion, caste and creed but we need to be united

[@pratapfeelinggood]

In Karnataka and in almost all south india earlier they used jaggery lime mixture as bonding material.. that too for big stones.. all old temple are from that mixture. In kannada it's called "gacchu"

[@Rushikesh152]

Brilliant work! Thanks for highlighting this, Scroll!

[@pavansilver]

Wow. So nice. One with the nature. I would love to build a home like that in my village.

[@nallavaiellamyelithu]

Obviously cities cannot adapt these techniques. But villages can.

[@sagayarajdavid6628]

In Citities also you can construct Mud arch buildings. Check Auroville Pondicherry and Mahija Bangalore projects. I am going to try one

[@bijuluckose6849]

You could have provided the details of the technique rather than just peripheral descriptions.

[@RS-of1om]

what is the R rating for the mud / limestone walls, ?

[@69bobr]

I've enjoyed your videos BUT you need to fix the ENGLISH audio. It's not crisp or clear. There's a muffled quality about it.

Good, v good

[@anurodh_lal]

Need of the hour

[@harikaramana9178]

👏👏

[@sicmesicme2360]

We need to keep individual cultures intact and believe in ancient time tested wisdoms. Let's not ape the west while seeking solutions. Because the best have been here, from ages...

[@sreenivas7739]

Can it provide affordable homes ?

[@betterthanyesterday9346]

Amen

[@nithyashekhar4590]

What is the use of uploading such videos. Add their contact details if anyone wants to build such a house.

[@vdd4188]

Plz share contact no...ye Tamilnadu k Bande se milana hai

[@libshastra]

This will only work for 1 to 3 storey homes. I seriously doubt that you can build skyscrapers with this technique.

[@sivakavivijay3636]

Pillars roofs and beams can built with concrete and walls with the lime or mud mortar

[@princeo15]

@@sivakavivijay3636 definitely need steel or stone bro

[@sivakavivijay3636]

@@princeo15 yes I meant Rcc as concrete

[@sharingiscaring6258]

There are many indigenous techniques. How do you think huge Palaces and Temple towers were built in those times?!
