Experience the Tadmal Bhāt Lāvṇī – A Monsoon Celebration Like No Other
Experience the magic of the monsoon with the traditional Bhāt Lāvṇī (bhat lavni) at Tadmal! Just a few hours from Mumbai, this rice planting experience with tribal women brings nature, culture, and joy together in one muddy, musical celebration.
What is Bhāt Lāvṇī?
Bhāt Lāvṇī is the traditional practice of paddy (rice) transplanting – an age-old ritual of working the wet fields with joy, songs, and togetherness. But here in Tadmal, it’s much more than farming –
it’s celebration, connection, and joy in its purest form.
Walk barefoot in the muddy fields, feel the rhythm of rain, laugh and sing with tribal women, and be a part of a living tradition
🍠 Monsoon Treats – Simple, Soulful, Delicious
While you plant, we pamper.
Enjoy piping hot roasted corn (मक्याची कणसं) and soft steamed sweet potatoes (रताळी) – a nostalgic monsoon treat served with love.
🫶 Forest-Style Meal After Farming
Once the work is done, sit down for a rustic, forest-style meal served on leaf plates.
Choose between traditional vegetarian or tribal non-vegetarian fare – all locally sourced, prepared in village style.
