Introduction to Darshan

The Darshan is dedicated to the noted Saint and scholar, Sadhu Vaswani. It offers an insight into the life and therefore the teachings of Sadhu Vaswani. It is built in Pune, on a space of 10000 sq. feet; on the first floor of the Sadhu Vaswani Mission Building.

A journey into Sadhu Vaswani's life and activities, it creates an entertaining, educative and moving experience for the soul, through a series of immersive spatial experiences rich in audio, video and multimedia, culminating in the darshan of the humble kutiya, where he spent his last years. Darshan is also essentially a repository of his teachings – in the form of interactive and participatory exhibits engaging the visitors, young and old alike.
