The purpose of Auroville is to realise human unity.
Vision
...a place where the needs of the spirit and the care for progress would get precedence over the satisfaction of desires and passions, the seeking for pleasures and material enjoyments.
Visitors and guests should bear in mind that the Matrimandir is not a ‘tourist’ site; it is a place for individual silent concentration. A place which should be visited in an appropriate physical and mental state.
Auroville is an experimental community in southern India. It was
founded in 1968 by the spiritual leader Mirra Alfassa as a town where
people from all over the world could live in harmony. Its focal point is
the Matrimandir, a futuristic, spherical temple covered in gold discs.
Auroville Botanical Gardens protects the region’s tropical dry evergreen
forest.
