Auroville, also known as the 'City of Dawn,' is an experimental global township located in the Viluppuram district of Tamil Nadu, India. Founded in 1968 by Mirra Alfassa, known as 'The Mother,' and designed by visionary architect Roger Anger, it was established as a place where people from all over the world can live in peace and progressive harmony, above all creeds, politics, and nationalities. At its heart lies the Matrimandir, a magnificent golden sphere that serves as a space for individual silent concentration, symbolizing the birth of a new consciousness and the town's spiritual focus.

Spread across a circular layout, Auroville is divided into four zones: Industrial, Cultural, Residential, and International, all surrounded by a vibrant 'Green Belt' of forests and organic farms. The township is a living laboratory for sustainable living, pioneering techniques in renewable energy, reforestation, and ecological restoration. Its diverse community of over 3,000 residents from more than 50 nations works together to build a model of human unity and collective evolution. Auroville is not just a destination for travelers, but a profound experiment in societal transformation, offering a glimpse into a future where humanity lives in balance with nature and spirit.
