| Ma Anandamayi Abode |
A renowned spiritual figure around the world, Ma Anandamayi was respected for her propagation of universal love and brother/sisterhood. The Maharajah of Garhwal, a highly spiritual person, invited her to bless his Palace with her presence. The Maharajah made a very special abode for Ma Anandamayi, overlooking the Ganges valley, where she worked to set up her Ashram. Outside her abode, parishioners regularly congregated to receive her and to listen to discourses on spirituality and 'darshan'. The profound sense of tranquility and peace, the legacy of Ma Anandamayi's all-pervading love, continues to linger in this vicinity. The Abode is a preferred venue for personal meditation |

| Yoga Pavilion |
A majestic open-air marbled floored shelter with gold leaf ceiling frescoes, it is surrounded by a still and peaceful water pool. Situated at the south end of the expansive Palace Lawn, the intimate setting receives the best sunset views and is ideal for individual instruction or private meditation. The sound of the resident flautist draws the evening stroller to this magical setting. |
| |
| Viceregal Hall |
Nestled atop a Sal Tree valley, this area is ideal for the more active forms of Yoga. A tranquil hillside garden is tucked just outside, along the valley's ridge - a perfect refuge for Himalayan tea after an invigorating Yoga session, or for peaceful meditation. |
| |
| Adhyatma Dham Pavilion |
Surrounded by glass on four sides, this intimate indoor setting commands impressive panoramic views over the Viceregal Palace roof. |
| |
| Winter Garden |
Adjacent to the Ma Anandamayi Abode , this outdoor area overlooks a dense grove of Sal Trees. The peaceful air of the spiritual leader's former presence here enhances any Yoga session. |
