Why Shantidhama ? Visitors from various backgrounds and needs visit this spot for stay.  In the current trend of nuclear families where a dependent parent may be alone if their children are traveling or not at home for some days , this may be a safer place for stay for senior parents and a change in atmosphere.  For some visitors it may be few uneasy experiences at home due to arguments or clashes and temporarily they want to be isolated to find peace and return back refreshed. For some who have spent their first innings towards family , now voluntarily joining for spending their relaxed second innings and so on.
