Hi, welcome to Manchadi and our butterfly garden. I will be sharing all our adventures with the winged friends of Manchadi here. Manchadi is the name of our house at Thiruvananthapuram. We have a little garden here with a few host plants for the butterflies that visit us. We have sighted more than 40 butterflies here and some of them are rearing their larvae too in their respective host plants. Manchadi is on a hillside and the vegetation joins the thin forests of Akkulam lake. Happy butterfly viewing!
