Yoga hall for ISKCON, Girgaum in Galtere village

A very simple structure of mud bricks, roof of sugarcane thatch, rammed earth floor. The starting point for this design is the Sri Chakra mandala. The interior is also adorned by a mural from Mud- Cow dung plaster by an artist from Vrindavan. Located in the midst of a clearing in the woods, it can be entered from the four cardinal directions through the entry pavilions.
