Inspiration
Designing with Devotion
Designed to balance Panchamahabhutas
Designing Dhyan Mandir, India’s grandest meditation place, is a unique and once-in-a-lifetime project for us. Pujya Gurudev’s vision inspired us to create it in a way that respects and connects with nature’s elements like earth, air, fire, water, and space. We started our design by appreciating the ashram’s beauty and the surrounding nature.
Before building anything, we took a close look at the site and understood its surroundings and environment. Subsequently, we became deeply stirred by an exceptional creative impetus, leading us to artfully design the Dhyan Mandir with a rooftop garden resembling a blossomed lotus, symbolically offered to Gurudev’s Paduka. This idea was influenced by the presence of an amphitheatre in the shape of a Guru’s paduka in front of the meditation hall.
The final design features a large meditation hall on the ground floor capable of accommodating 20,000 people, and a beautiful landscaped garden with fountains on the upper floor appearing as a natural extension of the surrounding garden. This largest and most eco-friendly magnificent meditation sanctuary was shaped by our deep alignment with Pujya Gurudev’s grand vision, knowledge and wisdom which became our secret ingredient behind shaping this extraordinary undertaking.

The Dhyan Mandir is an engineering marvel featuring a pillar-less colossal hall that spans 200ft to ensure an unobstructed view of the stage for all devotees. Inside the hall, skylights diffuse and filter light, creating a gentle and soothing ambiance. Careful attention is being given to interior design elements such as lighting, ceiling, walls, and floor, ensuring comfort, and ventilation with the aim of fostering a spiritual ambiance.
This monumental meditation hall features a rock-solid structure designed with state-of-the-art construction techniques, including specialized post-tensioning technology for the horizontal beams, ensuring optimal support and load-bearing capacity. The design also includes special technology for crowd management and fire safety. Our design takes inspiration from ancient Indian architectural wisdom of Vastu to strike a balance between the five natural elements for a harmonious space. At the zenith of the architectural masterpiece, a rooftop garden is there to make eco-friendly improvements and encourage a natural cooling process for the ground floor, which helps manage and lower the heat. The grand meditation hall on the ground floor can accommodate twenty thousand people while the rooftop garden and plaza provide additional recreational space.
The Dhyan Mandir boasts a captivating aesthetic incorporating ancient materials like red bricks and decorative stone columns reminiscent of temples. Water flowing down the large glass window panes at the entrance will make it look even more beautiful. The construction of the Dhyan Mandir exemplifies a harmonious blend of architectural brilliance, eco-consciousness, and spiritual sanctity.
