For three years, my van, Maaya, was my home. More than that, it became a space where strangers would step in, sit down, and leave feeling heard. After I sold it, I realised the one thing I have always loved is hosting, people, conversations, food, and stories. Maaya Vanam is me trying to build that feeling again. But this time, rooted in the land.

Experiences
What Awaits You
Maaya Vanam is more than just a place to stay. It is a place where people gather, share stories, and belong. From intimate supper clubs and small weddings to workshops on slow living, zero waste living, farming, and food, every experience here is designed to bring people together. Whether you come to celebrate, learn, or simply share a meal with us, Maaya Vanam is all about creating moments where people truly feel belonged.
Supper Clubs
Our supper clubs are themed food experiences inspired by traditions from across India. One evening might explore foods traditionally cooked during the festival of Sankranthi, another might bring together dishes inspired by temple kitchens, and another might celebrate seasonal or regional food cultures. We serve food and tell stories around the food. Most importantly, people may arrive as strangers, but around the table they laugh, share stories, and have conversations. By the end of the evening, they leave not only with the memory of great food, but with the quiet feeling that they belong somewhere.
Events
Maaya Vanam is a space for meaningful celebrations. From zero waste weddings to private gatherings, from corporate retreats to team outings, we host events that feel personal, warm, and close to nature. Surrounded by the farm, open skies, and a sense of calm, celebrations here are about togetherness. Whether it is a wedding, a family gathering, or a corporate retreat, every event at Maaya Vanam is designed to make feel like they belong. All our events are sustainable, zero waste, and directly contribute to the local economy.
Workshops
Workshops at Maaya Vanam are about rediscovering simple skills and reconnecting with the land. From learning about slow living and traditional cooking to exploring natural farming, zero waste living, and sustainability, these gatherings invite people to learn by doing. They are spaces for curiosity, conversation, and shared learning. We are sure, people will leave each workshop with a deeper sense of connection to the world around them, helping them belong.
Gutful
Belonging in a Box
Gutful is our functional food brand born from the philosophy of Maaya Vanam. Inspired by traditional foods found in Indian homes, Gutful brings together simple ingredients that have nourished people for generations and turns them into functional everyday snacks.
Our first small batch sold out quickly, and the response helped us refine the product further. We are currently working on Version 2, improving structure and packaging while keeping the same traditional ingredients and taste people loved.
Gutful will be launching soon.
