The Matrimandir (Sanskrit for Temple of the Mother or Temple de la Mère) is an edifice of spiritual significance for practitioners of integral yoga, in the centre of Auroville established by the Mother of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram.
At the very centre of Auroville one finds the 'soul of the city', the Matrimandir, situated in a large open area called 'Peace', from where the township radiates outwards. The atmosphere is quiet and charged, and the area beautiful, even though work continues in the Gardens.
