• The itinerary begins with a visit to the memorial of Sri Aurobindo Ghosh at the Aurobindo Ashram, where guests will gain insights into his life, philosophy, and revolutionary thoughts. The site also features a section dedicated to Mirra Alfassa, a notable disciple of Sri Aurobindo, and serves as a serene place for meditation. • A stroll through the city’s heart introduces guests to French heritage, showcasing stunning examples of French architectural style, highlighting Pondicherry's connection to France. • A visit to the Sri Aurobindo Paper Factory, established 50 years ago, provides a look at the handmade paper production process, utilizing 100% cotton rag pulp, along with techniques such as silk screen printing and marbling. • Following this, guests will walk along the renowned promenade of Pondicherry, with views of the picturesque Bay of Bengal. • After lunch, the journey continues to Auroville, a concept of a global village where individuals from around the world live as global citizens, transcending nationalities. Auroville was envisioned as a place free from national claims, where all individuals with goodwill could coexist under the authority of truth, promoting peace and harmony. Guests will have the opportunity to observe how residents implement sustainable lifestyles. The Matri Mandir, a large dome dedicated to silent meditation, can be viewed from the outside during the visit, though permission for indoor meditation must be requested in person one day in advance.
