Tour de Pondy
Entrance facade of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry

Silence, white walls, no photos inside

Sri Aurobindo Ashram

The samadhi courtyard on Rue de la Marine is the still centre of the town, where Sri Aurobindo and The Mother are laid to rest. Dress modestly, leave cameras and phones outside, keep voices down. Most visitors stay twenty minutes and walk out calmer than they went in.
