“A relationship that is not only cordial but friendly with the inhabitants of the neighboring village is absolutely indispensable. For the realization of Auroville the first step is to es-tablish a true human fraternity—any shortcoming in this regard is a grave mistake which can compromise the whole work. My blessings are with all sincere effort towards harmony.”

– The Mother, quote on villages

November 1969

About us

HUB FOR BIO-REGION ART, CULTURE AND EDUCATION

Mohanam is a non-profit, non-governmental organization to showcase the rich cultural heritage of Tamil Nadu. It reflects the beauty, traditions, innovations and the continuing evolution of South Indian arts and culture. Mohanam Village Heritage Centre is the work and realization of a group of young men from the surrounding villages of Auroville, the universal city located near Pondicherry. Young Tamil’s from different villages created the heritage centre to be a bridge between the traditional and the modern, the old and the young, between what is happening in Auroville and what is unfolding in the villages around.

“Would you like to support Mohanam’s important work to preserve Tamil culture and create bridges of cultural exchange with the world? Please consider becoming a monthly supporter to sustain our mission.”
