GATEWAY TO THE HOLY LAND

Owning a vacation home is a dream come true for many and if this home is in a holy place like Vrindavan or Mathura, it is for the best. Builders too are offering quality real estate here
Creative designs of smaller units abound in religious places. So, whether it is Vrindavan or Mathura, Haridwar or Rishikesh, there are innumerable examples of good quality studio apartments in each of these places. The reason clearly is a growing segment of religious and wealthy who desire a second/holiday home at these religious places with a manageable size house, which caters to their frequent but short visits, and becomes their retirement home in later years. Builders have understood this need and are offering the religious and wealthy group very easy-to-manage, semi- to fully-furnished small units in lovely gated communities. A case in point is a complex with 85% greenery and only 15% constructed area with 248 5-star fully furnished cottages, complete with designer furnishings and fittings, and each cottage equipped with microwave, refrigerator, LCD TV and airconditioned rooms. The campus has landscaped gardens and water features, amenities like club house and hi-tech gym, yoga and meditation centre, indoor swimming pool, spa and sauna and battery operated golf carts.
This is not a cut from the real estate of a developed country in the west but a boutique development in our own countryside, in Mathura, by a group called Shri Group. This creative project called Shri Radha Brij Vasundhara is at the feet of Govardhan Parvat and enroute the famous Parikrama of Govardhan Parvat. The project has onebedroom, two-bedroom and duplex cottages, each of which is fully furnished and "one has to just arrive with bag and baggage", says Sapna Aurora, manager of Shri Group. A one-bedroom, fully furnished cottage of 760 sq ft costs Rs 25 lakhs, a twobedroom cottage of 960 sq ft costs Rs 30 lakhs and a duplex costs Rs 35 lakhs. Sapna adds that there is a tremendous interest shown in these cottages by a specific group of people - the Iskon devotees - Lord Krishna bhakts, both from India and abroad, and NRIs belonging to Rajasthan and Gujarat. The concept is one of lifestyle living providing for a perfect ambience in the vicinity of the Lord; it has also been done up to attract nature lovers. "We have queries from Iskon followers from Ahmedabad to New Zealand and 70% of the project is sold out," says a spokesperson.
