For past several years we have been organising exhibitions on specific topics related to Indian Culture and Heritage. These are generally held at the Ashram Exhibition House, located at a popular spot on the Beach Road in Puducherry. The exhibitions are free and open for all, and draw a large number of visitors including students from local schools and colleges. Creatively designed posters (120-150 in number) highlighting valuable information and insights on the topic are exhibited for several days. Each exhibition is inaugurated with a special meditation at the exhibition hall.

Following is a list of some of the exhibitions held recently.

1. Bharata Shakti: Mother India – A Power, A Godhead (August 17-19, 2018): This special exhibition was conceived as a discovery or re-discovery of the immortal Bharata Shakti —the force that is behind India’s persistence, survival and revival as a culture and civilisation.
