Auroville

Auroville (City of Dawn) is an "experimental" township in Viluppuram district in the state of Tamil NaduIndia, near Pondicherry inSouth India. It was founded in 1968 by Mirra Alfassa (also known as "The Mother") and designed by architect Roger Anger.[1][2][3] As stated in Alfassa's first public message about the township, "Auroville is meant 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 realize human unity."
