The superior cottages are also air conditioned with T.V, Hot water,& Telephone. The rooms are done very tastefully with ethnic interiors to suit today's requirements.

The Philosophy: According to this science everything in this universe including the human body is made up of five~ basic eternal elements or Pancha mahabhootas (Air, ether, fire, water, earth) In Human body these combine together to form three subtle energies or forces that control and govern all the biological, physiological and physio- pathological functions of the body, mind and consciousness. They act as basic constituents and protective barriers for the body in its normal physiological conditions. Hence they are called doshas- the Vata, Pitha and Kapha. Also there is a re-categorization of the morphological structures of the body into seven basic tissues called '"Dhatus" (chyle, blood, flesh, fat, bone, marrow, Sperm) and eliminative processes from the body takes place in the form of three waste products or malas (sweat, urine, faeces) The representation of solar energy in a living being which is responsible for metabolic activities is called agni. Ayurveda explains that the harmony and balance of the doshas; Dhatus, mala and agni in the body is the primary condition of prime health.
