A Journey of Community, Sustainability, and Traditional Wisdom
In a world increasingly driven by fast-paced lifestyles, processed food, and industrialized systems, many people are searching for healthier, more sustainable, and meaningful ways of living. It is from this need that Mulam Santha was born—a community-driven initiative that encourages people to reconnect with nature, traditional knowledge, local artisans, and sustainable living practices.
Organized jointly by CSR Memorial Foundation and Grama Bharathi, Mulam Santha has successfully completed two years of continuous service to the community. What began as a small effort to support farmers and traditional producers has now evolved into a vibrant platform that brings together farmers, artisans, natural farming practitioners, millet entrepreneurs, khadi makers, eco-conscious consumers, and nature lovers.
A Market with a Purpose
Unlike conventional marketplaces, Mulam Santha is more than a place to buy and sell products. It is a movement that promotes healthy living, sustainable consumption, and direct connections between producers and consumers.
One of the unique aspects of Mulam Santha is that it is held on the Second Saturday of every month, creating a consistent and reliable platform for both vendors and visitors. For the past two years, this monthly gathering has become a much-awaited event where people come together to learn, share, support local producers, and celebrate traditional ways of life.
Every Second Saturday, Marri Krishna Hall in Tarnaka transforms into a vibrant space filled with natural products, traditional foods, handmade crafts, educational conversations, and inspiring stories from people who are working towards a healthier and more sustainable future.
Supporting Farmers and Artisans
Over the last two years, Mulam Santha has provided opportunities for numerous farmers, artisans, self-help groups, and small-scale producers to directly reach consumers without intermediaries.
This direct interaction not only helps producers receive fair value for their products but also enables consumers to understand the story behind what they buy. Every product showcased at the Santha represents hard work, traditional knowledge, sustainability, and a commitment to quality.
Visitors can meet the people who grow their food, weave their clothes, create handmade products, and preserve age-old traditions.

Building a Back-to-Roots Community
