Comment

A map illustrating “the mysterious Auroville”, with its curious sights & unique architecture, unlike any other place in India. Sights- The Matri Mandir (temple) blazing like the summer sun with its gleaming energy falling upon the distant mediators under the great banyan tree. The offbeat path from the youth centre, surrounded by fallen cyclone trees leading to the raw tree houses with the hippie love car road divider. Curious architecture- space ship Auro Model houses, Roger Anger's abandoned school, the art school. Memories- fish pedicure at Verite, Sleeping at the open roofed hut at Reve under the stars & constantly loosing my way along the winding mud roads at night.
