The Matrimandir will be the soul of Auroville. A place... for trying to find one’s consciousness

Matrimandir and the Peace Area

At the centre of the city is the oval Peace Area where the Matrimandir, the soul of Auroville, is located. Matrimandir is surrounded by 12 petals and 12 gardens. Right next to it is a giant banyan tree which is the geographical centre of Auroville. Nearby is the amphitheatre with the Urn of Human Unity that contains the soil of 121 nations and 23 Indian states. All of these are surrounded by a lake in the making, creating an atmosphere of calm and serenity and serving water to the city in the future.
