People who made the undertaking of Matrimandir (Gallery 1)

For several years, Aurovilians, Ashramites and workers from the nearby villages were working together, first at the digging, then at the building and at the completion of the Matrimandir, "the Soul of Auroville".
Here a collection of pictures of the very early times, kindly furnished by Architects Piero and Gloria, who were a very active part in the planning, organizing and building of this challenging undertaking.
