Sangam House is located at The Jamun, a spacious bungalow set on a quiet, green lane of Bangalore. It is a calm environment with easy access to the city centre. The Jamun gets its name from one of the fruiting and flowering trees that surround the property.
The Jamun has five large rooms in the main house and two smaller studio spaces. Resident writers can expect to be at Sangam with at least five other writers and a Sangam House administrator.
Each room has an en suite bathroom and WiFi access. The property sits across the street from a tree-lined park with shops and restaurants a five minute walk down the road.
Common spaces include a living area, dining room, breakfast nook, a library with a work station and a terrace on the upper floor. There is also a garden and a covered patio. The Jamun has a well-equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. Tea and coffee makers are available 24 hours in the common areas on each floor. All meals are provided.
Writers spend most of the day working by themselves but we gather at 8pm in the evenings to chat about love and life, work and words. We have regular, evening readings of our work at Sangam House and periodically host public events for our residents to share their work with readers.
