Whispering Groves

I just had to share this place with you guys! We had headed for a day long outdoor shoot- to this place called Kolaad which was a 2 hour drive from Bombay. Our production team had booked this plac, called 'Whispering Groves'. It was superbly interesting & very very dusty. We were to park our stuff here for the day. The client who had come along tried to look cool & downplay the place's effect on him, My model declared that its ideal for sitting down & smoking up. The lady whose place this was was promptly dubbed 'Voodoo Aunty'. But just look at this place...! It's crazy - I've never seen another place which is done up quite like this. In parts tacky, in parts whimsical, wholly rough & rustic.

This was the common seating/lounge area.


Take a wild guess at what the design on the door could be made of - its thermocol.



I just completely loved this beautiful antique 2 seater- look at its winged backrest- gorgeous!




I loved the light here.

A portion of the restroom.
Im really curious to know what each of you thinks of this :)

Fascinating. I don't think I could spend time there, with my overly-sensitive Americanized ways. We Americans suffer with horrible allergies because we are such wimps. But what a fascinating place. What was the outside like? Built into the earth? Was it hot or cool in there? Does the owner walk around barefoot? I'd like to see more of the bathroom.

Peggy, :) i adore u for saying it like it is :) The hot topic of discussion among all of us who were there was- who would be comfortable spending their weekend there. Im afraid a lot of us balked at the thought of it, so u definitely have company in how u feel.
It was rather built into the earth, there was enough greenery outside, it was raining & we were there for a job so didn't shoot too much. wil try and mail u the bath pic :)

I would be happy to rest my body, fold my wings, and become an earth angel there..
