Early view of the land during its restoration

ನಮ್ಮ ಪಯಣ

ಅವನತಿ ಹೊಂದಿದ ಭೂಮಿಯಿಂದ ಪುನರುಜ್ಜೀವನಗೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿರುವ ಪರಿಸರ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಯವರೆಗೆ

ತಮರಿಂಡ್ ವ್ಯಾಲಿ ಕಲೆಕ್ಟಿವ್ · ಸ್ಥಾಪನೆ 2017

Nine years back, ten hands and a fence line held a barren field near Thaggatti behind. Earthwork by earthwork, one workshop, one season — the soil slowly remembered its reason.

A mud hut rose by hand. A wildfire came and went. Elephants wandered through, uninvited, unbent. A transformer vanished one restless July night — still, somehow, the years kept turning out right.

Nine winters deep in, our first true home now stands. Scroll below — and walk it through, hand in hand.

An unusually heavy north-east monsoon washed away the June earthwork and much of what had been planted. Nearby stations logged 20–40mm of rain within single 24-hour periods.
