About Harivan Ashram
Eleven acres of forest, breath, and silence near Chandigarh.
Harivan Ashram is the Art of Living's Tricity centre in North India — set on eleven acres of vibrant land surrounded by lush forest in Bardar village, near New Chandigarh.
It is a sanctuary for stillness, sadhana and seva. Our intent is gentle and clear: nourish body, mind and spirit, and let inner transformation become societal transformation.
