Monastery cost estimation
A consolidated overview of projected building costs will be shared when the trust approves public figures. Until then, this block stays text-only so we do not duplicate imagery or imply schedules that are not yet fixed.
Our place
The monastery
Buddha Maarg is a Theravāda forest monastery project in the Nashik area of Maharashtra. This page summarises the land and planning priorities in proposal phase — not an operational build log. For trust-backed mission and objectives, see About the trust. Time-neutral project notes live under Updates.
Land and setting
The community is establishing quiet grounds in the Nashik area, Maharashtra, with an emphasis on tree cover and simple structures suited to meditation and communal life. Boundaries and acreage will be confirmed with the trust before they are published as facts.
Current structures
Buildings are expected to take shape in stages as plans, funds, and community readiness align. This site does not list dated milestones; it points to the trust’s objectives and the planning materials the community has chosen to share during the proposal phase.
Building priorities
Work is oriented toward dignified long-term residence and communal practice: kutis, guest accommodation where appropriate, kitchen and dining capacity, and quiet paths on the land. The sections below are text-only; the two stakeholder images for this page appear only under Land and setting and Community and site photographs.
Bhikkhu kuti
Planning for additional bhikkhu dwellings will be described in text and drawings once the community publishes materials meant for the public web. No placeholder diagram is shown here to avoid repeating the proposal artwork used elsewhere on this page.
Dining hall and kitchen
Shared kitchen and dining capacity will follow the same phased approach as other buildings. Room counts, hall sizes, and schedules depend on fundraising, seasons, and the community's pace — not on dated headlines on this preview site.

Video from the grounds
Short clips of construction progress. Playback starts only when you press play; there is no autoplay with sound.
Video clips from the Nashik site will be published here when the community provides files. Nothing from the previous monastery project is carried over.
