A Dubai millionaire has won over nostalgic netizens by turning his property into a living memorial of 1980s Kerala village life. The internet sensation, replete with clay-tiled homes, a functional well, and traditional furniture, offers a zealous recreation of yesteryears—plonked in the middle of the desert city.
The brainchild of this cultural time capsule, who hails from Kerala, left no stone unturned in recreating each and every detail from his boyhood days. From oil lamps and bullock carts to banana plantations and handlooms, every aspect on his property oozes a bygone era that many Malayalis cherish with nostalgia.
Beyond being a design preference, the project is a way of life based on simplicity, sustainability, and cultural heritage. He is said to even cook traditional fare on firewood stoves and wears vintage clothing, welcoming visitors to experience the heritage of Kerala at first hand—without having to travel to Dubai.
People on social media have universally commended the initiative for retaining tradition in an increasingly modernizing world. With millions of views and shares, his reconstructed village is now a viral sensation as well as an evocative reminder that home isn’t merely a location—it’s an emotion, lovingly rekindled in every aspect.
