The camp was conceived like a traditional Indian fortress, which would typically have within, a Palace, a Temple, a Yagyashala, Dining Halls and Kitchens, and houses to accommodate perma- nent residents as well as visitors. Facades were built with intricate carvings and motifs to recreate the grandeur of the architecture of the Classical era of traditional towns of Madhya Pradesh. The layout of the camp was such that on entering the camp one would get a panoramic view of the site, hence a central‚ Darshan Chowk was planned with important buildings surrounding it. The camp was designed keeping in mind the mass influx of people and so the heavy public movement areas were all located to the front of the camp while the more private residential areas were not accessible to visitors.With a built-up area of 3.1 lakh sq.ft., the camp comprised of an Events Pavilion with a seating capacity of 3,000 people, Dining Halls that fed about 12,000 persons per day, and various residential cottages and dormitories to accommodate 2500 people. The camp was equipped with a total of 950 toilets.

Ameya Yoga Studio pays homage to India’s vibrant cultural legacy of yoga and Bharatnatyam, skilfully weaving their essence into its design. The studio’s layout beautifully accentuates the elegance of these art forms, creating a tranquil ambience.
Upon entering the studio, your gaze will naturally be drawn to the layers of curtains. Carefully selected and strategically positioned, these curtains create a visual flow that mirrors the graceful movements of both Bharatnatyam dance and yoga. They subtly guide your sight, infusing the space with a soothing rhythm while also providing a sense of seclusion, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in your practice without distractions. During performances, a curved layer of curtains adds a touch of drama and intrigue, capturing the mesmerising interplay of light and shadow, further enhancing the studio’s ambience.
Every aspect of the design has been intricately chosen to brew serenity and inner tranquillity. The use of natural elements like wood and soft fabrics creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The colour palette exudes calmness, drawing inspiration from the gentle hues found in nature. The decor choices, inspired by Indian aesthetics, imbue the space with a profound sense of cultural richness and connection.
This studio offers a unique opportunity to delve deep into your physical and spiritual self by blending yoga with Bharatnatyam in a special way. It serves as a sanctuary for self-expression and self-discovery, whether you’re engaging in yoga asanas and synchronised breath work or expressing yourself through the artful footwork and expressive gestures of Bharatnatyam.
