Many people visit Auroville and end up not going inside the Matrimandir and hence, miss out on the free guided tour of why this "international city" exists and what is its purpose. You need prior reservation (3-7 days before visiting) to go inside the Matrimandir - easiest way is to shoot them an email 3-4 days before you want to go. (email is mentioned on their website). They are pretty quick to respond; alternatively you can go physically and make a reservation for visiting after 2-3 days. This is not a temple in a traditional sense, but is the center of Auroville and the great vision of "Mother". (you can learn more on your guided tour). Inside the Matrimandir, there is a meditation room with a capacity of~80 people where you are supposed to maintain pin-drop silence for 15 minutes and concentrate/mediate looking at the crystal as a beam of focused sunlight falls on it. For me this was the best part! While returning, you get to spend sometime under the banyan tree and garden (There is a separate reservation if you want to spend more time in garden). Overall, must visit.

Love the Matrimandir, an engineering marvel. Must go if you need peace and oneness. But getting there is a huge hassle. A real put off. Maybe that is their intent so once is too much.

I do not know what to expect in Matrimandir but the fact that Auroville has more than 43 nationalities, 12 schools? (incl. outreach schools), health centres, clinics and population of more than 2000 is indeed an amazing fact. It is a place of quietness and serene with high level of concentration, especially within Matrimandir itself. Matrimandir is only accessible to its residents, so we only get to 'tour' from a distance and its other surroundings.The walk itself to Matrimandir is breathtaking, passing through some 12 erected stone slabs depicting the 12 petals of Matrimandir and through an amazing passage of Banyan trees, which is more than 100 years old and formed its new roots from branches branching towards the ground forming new trunks!!! It is quite a scene and definitely a good place to take a breather while walking towards Matrimandir.

Opens your eyes to a perspective different than usual.City on its own. You will see a lot of foreigners settled there itself.1 km walk to the dome is also nice

As fortune has it I am a privileged traveler having had the great fortune of traveling with a well respected man here. If you can gain access within, the experience changes your life!It is a sight worth seeing from exteriors as well so do not miss it. The sphere is plated in pure gold and the energy cast from it is evident before you approach it. The entire community of Auroville is dedicated to Unity and self sustenance. The food and crafts are exceptional. THis place truely lives in the 60's mentality of peace and love. Traditional massage, food, crafts are all very affordable to an outside traveler. It is more expensive than in town but as an American with the exchange rate it is so affordable. This place is a game changer DO NOT MISS IT

Mantri Mandir is closed for a casual visitor. Its only open for residents of Auroville. Also, the products being sold at the entrance of Auroville- at The Visitors Centre, like incense sticks, fridge magnets, cosmetics etc., are unnecessarily expensive and of no value of money at all.

Matrimandir, Auroville is 10 KM from Pondicherry. You need a full day. Take some Drinking water and snacks. To reach the Mandis you have to walk on the trail to it. Surroundings are beautifully line with greenary and flowers. On the trail they have erected upright plaques with mesages on it depicting the flowers. The messages of course are for us mankind to follow a good path. It was the best place I have been to in Chennai after the Jesus Christ church on Subbaya Salai.

Make sure you plan for a trip to visit the Matrimandir inside. Booking need to be done a day before the visit and the booking counter is open from 11 to 12 noon. And they are very perticular about the time
