Description:
This is a very grandly conceived utopian city that is being gradually developed in Southern India.
It was founded in 1968 by Mirra Alfassa (known as “The Mother”) and designed by architect Roger Anger. However, it is not without its problems.
Their aim is: “Auroville wants to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities.
The purpose of Auroville is to realise human unity.”
