Information About Auroville.

 

Auroville, ‘the City of Dawn’, is a place that anyone with idealistic leanings will find compelling. It’s an international community dedicated to peace, sustainability and ‘divine consciousness’, where people from across the globe, above all creeds, colours and nationalities, work together to build a universal, cash-free, non-religious township.

Auroville is a universal township in the making, with the purpose to realise the Human Unity.

Located 12km northwest of Puducherry, Auroville was founded in 1968 by ‘the Mother’, co-founder of Puducherry’s Sri Aurobindo Ashram.

The town consists of more than 100 scattered settlements, with about 3000 residents of 55 nationalities. Around 50% of Aurovilians are foreigners. Visiting offers a glimpse into this self-styled utopia, where you can bliss out on the peaceful setting, the beautiful and unique Matrimandir and the easygoing friendliness.

The community benefits the area with a variety of projects, from schools and IT to organic farming, renewable energy and handicrafts production, employing 5 to 6000 local villagers.

What’s more, you’ll find some excellent restaurants and cafes, within Auroville and surrounding villages, as well as lots of activities to experience.
