At Matri Mandir , Aurovile, Pondichery , Chennai , India

This is my second journey towards pondichery. My intention was to cover the left out places which we couldnt travel during the first journey. I was driving my four wheeler Tata India and my journey was smooth thru the scenic East Coast Road (commonly called ECR).

We reached the Matri Mandir after a long journery .We took a deviation from the ECR to reach Aurovile, the universal city that is coming up in the suburbs of Pondichery (More about auroville here (http://www.auroville.org/) . Matri Mandir , is located here. This is the worship place of people living in auroville. Lot of tourists have come to see the Matri Mandir. The place is calm and quiet and we need to take a long queue to reach inside the Mandir. As we step towards the rotating stairs we reach a dark room where a Diamond like illuminating structure is placed.
