Auroville Festival in Chennai

Following the successful Auroville Festival in Delhi in 2012, the Governing Board, in their meeting of November 2013, has approved a similar event to be held in Chennai as many state government officials are unaware that Auroville is in Tamil Nadu and what it actually does. The name for the festival will be “What is this Auroville?” It is to take place in the second half of January 2015.

“What is this Auroville?” is planned to include an inauguration ceremony, a cultural evening, a conference, and special general and individual events. Some of the themes that this festival will focus on are: Auroville as a place of research and experimentation, of never ending education, as a multicultural center for the development of human unity and as a working city. The duration of the Festival may be from a couple of days to a week.
