The village, Hessargatta - just outside India's IT capital, Bangalore - is designed to encourage the preservation of some of India's rural traditions.
It offers visitors the chance to qualify in tasks like milking cows and looking after the other animals, such as turkeys, ducks, chickens and dogs.
"It's great having these farm animals, because for the urbanites - there are lots of people who looked at the turkey and said, 'what is that?'" Ram Kumar, who came up with the idea and who runs the village, said. "The only time they have seen the turkey is on the table for Christmas."
