Visit to Auroville |
Pondicherry is famous not only for Nirvana school (!), but also its Aurobindo Ashram and Auroville.
Auroville is an international experimental tonwship, inspired by the vision of Sri Aurobindo. Auroville means the "City of Dawn". It is now a remarkably beautiful and tranquil place, as you can see from these magical images taken mainly in March 2005:-
