Team of Mandodari International LLC

Aspiration to bring beauty, harmony and environmentally balanced surroundings joined us together.

Our goal is to unite nature and living spaces in a balanced way.

Is this possible?

Yes, it is possible when professionalism and ancient wisdom are united.

We merge the modern knowledge and experience with the ancient science and art of Vaastu Shastra. The ancient wisdom of design and construction became an integral part of our work. We design and build energetically balanced buildings, interiors and landscapes. The long-forgotten art and science of ancient India is finally opening up to all of us.

Our team is unique. We have different professional backgrounds and extensive experience but we all love nature.
