The different spaces at Tamarind Tree

The Pond Pavilion at The Tamarind Tree

The name of the venue isn't random at all. It comes from the 400-year old tamarind tree that overlooks this natural pond. It is surrounded by old temple steps as a watchful Basava looks over it.

The soul of The Tamarind Tree, events by the pond pavilion will freeze your memories in time-ones you'll want to revisit over and over again.

The Colonial Bandstand

Nestled among lush green spaces is the colonial bandstand which has a sprawling lawn with cobblestone walkways. Frangipani blooms surround the bandstand, adding to the existing beauty.

It is usually used as the central wedding arena owing to the existing mandap/mantapa structure. The filigreed design emanates stories of an India gone by.

The Stone Mantapa

Overlooking the pond pavilion, this rustic-looking stone mantapa adds to the charm of The Tamarind Tree. And just like most spaces here, this too is nestled amidst trees. Most couples use this space for playing live music, especially if they're having a group of musicians playing the nadaswaram during weddings.
