Vaishali Jain

Vaishali Jain, a radiant 27 year old young woman, known to her close friends as Vishu, left her body on September 1st due to a traffic accident.

Originally from Delhi, she made Auroville her new home in 2021. She immersed herself in the life and culture of Auroville, being active and volunteering for several activities in Auroville, such as the Youth Centre, Revelation Forest, Kalabhumi, Upcycling, and numerous art festivals and events. She was a beloved member of our community, touching many lives with her bright smile.

Being an artist herself, Vaishali was also known amongst the artists of Auroville for her generous and open heart. She was passionate about the arts and organized spaces where artists could co-create and collaborate. She will be remembered by our community as a free-spirited, fun-loving, and kind soul who held space for the sharing of art in and around Auroville.

Vaishali’s remains were cremated at the Auroville Burial and Cremation Grounds on September 3rd.
