Backwater ripples at Kottayam by Benny Kuriakose

The uniqueness of the lake resort is that twenty-one cottages and twelve rooms have been comfortably accommodated on a small plot of land abutting Lake Vembanadu.

Interiors

These natural materials, together with the lapping of the lake water, on the banks of the resort resonating with the ripples of the swimming pool, all induce an inimitable ambience that is Kumarakom’s alone.

Cottages

The cottages reflect a variety of styles though they are all built according to traditional Kerala design, with a generous use of timber, combined with bricks, stone and mangalore tiles.

The Smart Cities Mission then caters only to the rich and this becomes evident in not just the visuals they use, but also the manner in which they describe their vision of a World Class Infrastructure. This essay by Avani Mittal is amongst the shortlisted essays.
