Natural building experience in India???

Anyone have any experience in natural building in India?

Anyone interested in building a natural/sustainable spiritual resort?

Any suggestions on best places to build?

Anyone have experiences with Nepalese/Tibetan laborers?

Thanks (feel free to send me a private message)
India is the great Yin-Yang. Amazing lightness, equally amazing darkness. Wrapped up to make one complete whole.

Revised Version: 1/2010 :

I guess you should go to visit Auroville, near Pondicherry, TN. All that kind of stuff is going on there, plus much more.

Oh! If only I wasn't so damned attractive to mosquitoes

Is that what you use? I think I'd try a rolling hitch...

Google on Laurie Baker.

He is a fantastic "natural builder" and has been doing it in India from 1965 [i think] Huge buildings and all made of mud.

He's got quite a cult following.

I have a book on his buildings...
The Universe is an ellipsoid?... or a Spheroid?? If the sphere smiles... it becomes an ellipse. This IS Creation.

That seems like a spiritual quest to me!
