INTRODUCTION:
Ayurveda or Ayurvedic medicine is a system of Hindu traditional medicine

native to the Indian subcontinent and a form of alternative medicine. The
oldest known Ayurvedic texts are the Suśrutha Saṃhitha and the Charaka
samhitha. These Classic sanskrit texts are among the foundational and
formally compiled works of Ayurveda.
By the medieval period, Ayurvedic practitioners developed a number of

medicinal preparations and surgical procedures for the treatment of
various ailments Practices that are derived from Ayurvedic medicine are
regarded as part of complementary and alternative medicine, and along
with Siddha Medicine and Traditional Chinese medicine forms the basis for
systems medicine.
Ayurveda is at present well integrated into the Indian National health care
system, with state hospitals for Ayurveda established across the country. In
the United States, the practice of Ayurveda is licensed in complimentary
heath care.

NEED:
Ayurveda is one of the oldest forms of Indian medicine. The field of
Ayurveda just doesn’t include a medical system but it is well known for
curing of many anatomical disorders and for its stress relieving massages. It
not just being a field of medicine also represents the culture of india.In the
modern world where massage centres and spas have become a part of
lifestyle, A well sophisticated Ayurvedic resort would attract a lot of medical
tourist as well as people from all walks of life who would love to relieve
their stress in their holidays.
REASON:
Like many other resources our country possess, this is an important one
which deserves no less importance than other forms of medicine. To
promote tourism with what we inherited from the past is more appropriate
than superficially creating spaces that looks out of place in the context. This
project is appropriate for an interior thesis because of the vast number of
possibilities in the many different interior spaces.
AIM:
 To create a calm, peaceful, rejuvenating experience by dealing with

the materials and creating feelings in space rather than creating a
superficial form.
 To create interior spaces using the local material and workmanship

and at the same time make it look as timeless as possible. To
experiment with the local material available to its fullest extent and
deriving various possibilities.

SPACES FOR YOGA AND MEDITATION
These activities mostly take place in a large open central space, accompanied by
a set of support rooms.
Main Room
This is the central space of the building where people gather for practice, and
generally is a free plan, flexible and adaptable to different uses. To determine
its dimensions, we can use the standard measures of a yoga mat, which unfolds
fully stretched in an area of approximately 1.70 x 60 meters. It is suggested to
leave at least 50 cm between the mats, to allow the free movement of users
during the exercises.
Some of these rooms have a small platform or elevated area where the
instructor or guide of the session is located, and it is good to add shelves or
countertops where people can leave their 'tools' during the class (water bottles,
Page | 9
towels, blankets, slippers). Usually, the room has mirrors on one or more walls,
but this depends on the needs and the taste of the client.
Bathrooms / Dressing Rooms
Not all centers include dressing rooms, but if there are resources and space, it is
good to add. In the case adding them in, you can increase the size of the
bathrooms allowing dual use. To achieve this objective and allow the space to
be occupied by more than one person at a time, in several projects toilet area is
separated from the sink, that is being associated with a kind of small dressing
room, which may also include lockers, shelves, and benches. Circulations
Circulations gain great importance in this kind of projects, because not only can
function as corridors or hallways, but also can contain storage spaces, waiting
and resting areas, or even a reception. Some cases also take advantage of the
walls to incorporate built-in shelves.
COLOURS
Light is colour and light is energy; therefore, colour it is just as important for use
in healing architecture. Colours are the interplay between light/darkness,
[30]
Page | 10
energy, matter and perception. Colours are the visual and abstract interaction
between the object and the subject and so have physiological effects.
Our engagement with colours is part of our natural and instinctual behavior; the
reaction is however importantly biological. Colours directly associate with the
“Feel” in the first instance and indirectly with perception of taste and smell. So,
one can construct built environment to trigger emotional and cognitive
responses in a being.
Even less consciously, colour affects the autonomic nervous system, muscle
tension, cortical activity, blood pressure, breathing rate and enzymatic and
hormonal secretions. Different colours stimulate different glands.
Such physiological effects are often bound up with associative qualities. Cold
things are often bluish; blue light, like cold, slows the pulse and lowers blood
pressure.
Colours can also be used therapeutically.
There are well known and established associations between colours and
emotions/feelings as here under, affect humans, designers should first consider
the major hues: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple/violet
