Intent
Art village Karjat was founded in 2016 by Artist Ganga Kadakia and her husband Kunal Kadakia. Their vision was to create a sustainable ecosystem with a thriving artist community and platform for learning and sharing traditional & indigenous knowledge systems.
Built by Hunnarshalla foundation with sustainable materials and a thriving biodiversity of flora and fauna the village has had many offerings in the last decade like hospitality with curated art & nature stays, music festivals, curated school programs with immersive and hands on programmes, sustainable weddings and master workshops in earth building, paper making, traditional arts, astronomy, yantra mandala, farming and hippology which are week long stays.
The project opens its doors in 2026 to the final phase which encapsulates the artist studios. Celebrating art forms like Print making, Pottery and Woodworking the studios are a space for collaborations, prototyping and long term courses.
