A Heritage Estate Where Stories Take Root

BANNI MARA

Welcome to Banni Mara,

a Heritage Estate

where Stories take Root

Banni Mara began as a home shaped beneath the shade of ancient Banni trees, grown with care, intention, and time. Today, it opens its doors as a Chettinad-inspired estate near Bangalore, designed for intimate weddings, open-air celebrations, and slow stays.

With lawns adorned by tall trees, a mantap space straight out of a dream, dedicated dining spaces, and on-site accommodation, the estate brings together celebration and stillness, allowing moments to unfold naturally and meaningfully.
