Gokulam Residences — 6 boutique apartments in Jayalakshmipuram, Mysore's global yoga district. Built by a Frisco, TX NRI family. Fully managed by Merianda Estates. Ready December 2026.
It started with a conversation at a dinner table in Frisco, Texas. A family from Mysore had lived in the Dallas–Fort Worth area for years. Their children grew up in the US. But Mysore never left them.
They saw Jayalakshmipuram transform into a global yoga destination — where students from London, New York, Tokyo, and Sydney came to study for months at a time. Good apartments were scarce.
"We wanted to build the kind of apartment we'd want to live in ourselves. Open, light, quality throughout. And completely worry-free to manage from the US."
— The investors, Frisco TX
They partnered with Merianda Estates — and VijayKumar Thibbaiah, B.E. Civil Engineer, 30+ years Mysore real estate. The result is Gokulam Residences: 6 boutique apartments bringing Texas open-plan design to the spiritual heart of Mysore's yoga district.

Jayalakshmipuram and adjacent Gokulam form the undisputed world centre of Ashtanga yoga. The KPJAYI — K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Shala — is located here, drawing students from 50+ countries year-round.
Foreign yoga students and wellness tourists rent apartments in Jayalakshmipuram and Gokulam for 1–3 months at a time. This creates consistent, year-round rental demand — making an apartment here both a holiday home and an income-generating investment.
Tenant sourcing, lease management, rent collection, maintenance, and monthly reporting — all handled by the Merianda Estates team. This same service is available to any NRI who owns property in Mysore or Coorg.
