Symbol of Unity
When Auroville was inaugurated on February 28, 1968, a total of 5,000 people assembled near the town’s banyan tree. Representatives from 124 nations and 23 Indian countries came to give soil from their land as a symbol of unity. Mother recognized this as a gesture of acceptance and recognition for her hard work and vision. Hence, the urn that contained the soil was placed at the very center. However, this isn’t the only beautiful area in Auroville.
