Points Of Interest for Auroville

Rituals at Matrimandir in Auroville

The Matrimandir does not perform any special rituals because it is not a temple of devotion
for any gods or goddesses. It is a symbol of honesty that opposes all forms of distribution or
division among people and encourages respect for animals and the natural world. This
location takes you near to nature and illuminates the way to contentment and tranquility. The
place's serene, tranquil, and lush green surroundings will engulf you.

Structure of Auroville

The internal organization of Auroville lacks a set formal progressive framework. Several
working communities currently manage the township on a daily basis; these persons are
selected by the network through a perceived process. These groups function with an
extraordinary degree of self-sufficiency, encompassing topics like network coordination, city
planning, money, education, green work, wellbeing, and so forth. Important decisions are
typically made during public gatherings or through the leadership of the Residents Assembly.

Matrimandir

The center of Auroville is located here, and it's a stunning location surrounded by rich
vegetation and positive energy. You can meditate and unwind in the nicest atmosphere it
offers. Be sure to reserve your visit here in advance. Matrimandir also contains interior
chambers that you must access by appointment if you want to explore. Furthermore keep in
mind that there are no cameras or videotapes permitted here.

Auroville Beach

It is a stunning beach that is also known as Auro Beach, and it is located 10 miles from the
ashram. You will be mesmerized by the magnificence of this location, which is one of
Pondicherry's most well-liked beaches. Its crystal-clear waters and spotless shoreline draw
visitors looking to unwind. Because there are fewer restaurants on this beach, you can bring
whatever food you need.
