It is a place where your body, mind and soul come in equilibrium state and seem as if you are discovering Human Revolution. Therefore divert the attention of many belonging to different backgrounds. The existing varieties of trees, abundant vegetation sheltering animals and avian species, all make the whole environment extremely vibrant to woo your senses.

Established in year 1968 by ex- famous yoga leader Mirra Alfassa, the city of Auroville is a residential settlement and homes about 1,100 residents. She was a great admirer of Sri Aurobindo teachings, The city is segregated into four zones and is governed by the Auroville Foundation through the act of Indian Parliament. Matrimandir, its main attraction has a globe like formation, and is covered in golden discs with an expanse of undying greenery.
