unique community dining space
Hanu Reddy Farms to take care of
the Othivakkam farmland this mango season, the grandest is a giant tamarind
tree, with three swings hanging down its sprawling branches. From its vantage
point right at the entrance, the tree stands guard, looking over acres of
land.

The idea behind the table is community
dining. “It is a way to bring people together, with the theme of mango, India’s
national fruit,” says Nirupama. Hannu Reddy Mango Tourism is organising The
Great Mango Festival, at which people can go fruit picking and on bullock cart
rides, shop at sustainable markets, learn pottery and practise yoga. “You can
have breakfast at the table, the menu will be mango-based and designed by
celebrity chefs. We will also have a live mango ice cream counter,” she says.
They have also collaborated with Exoticamp, a travel startup, for setting up
tents in the farm to spend the night.
The festival will be held at Hanu Reddy Raghava Farms on three weekends: June 9, 16 and 23. Visit www.hanureddymangotourism.com or call Exoticamp at 9487762833
