Sri Aurobindo Niwas
શ્રી અરવિંદ નિવાસ
The residence where philosopher Sri Aurobindo lived during his service in Baroda, now a meditation center and memorial.
Sri Aurobindo served the Baroda princely state from 1894 to 1906, working first in the royal administration and then at Baroda College. This house was one of his residences during that time. It now operates as a meditation center and memorial, with a statue of him, an exhibition on his life and a library. The courtyard is lush with flowers and trees, and the environment is very quiet, suitable for sitting meditation.
Admission is free, but visitors must keep silence. It is located downtown, near Laxmi Vilas Palace, so it can be visited on the way.
