115+ members. 30+ families. 1 house. A unique joint family.
Posted By thecouple
On the road from Puttur to Kasargod is this village called Vitla. Just outside the market area, tucked between farmlands and paddy fields is a unique family. When Prasad mentioned about them, we decided to pay a visit. Often called ‘palace’ by the villagers, this large house is anything but a palace. We met Janardana, the current head of the family and spoke to him for a While.
His ancestors were local rulers and the current generations either work as government employees or school teachers. The families maintain separate kitchens, but during special occasions or festivals, food is prepared together. The structure is more than 100 years old and has started crumbling in some parts.

About us
We, Unny & Bindhu, are a couple currently based in Mumbai. The best introduction can be: He (Unny) - Armchair traveler. Reluctant reader. Would-be writer. Amateur photographer, Day dreamer… and likewise, a pretender of too many things.
She (Bindhu) - Add a few more pretensions - a good cook, a good host, etc. Easily mistaken for a serious, intellectual reader, but far from it. Engineer by qualification; freelance writer by choice. Also volunteers as a teacher for Akanksha, an NGO.
