The Urn at the Amphitheater was a central feature of Auroville’s inauguration ceremony. Into it was poured soil from most of the countries of the world, as well as each state of India. It still stands today at the center of the Amphitheater.
The Urn was designed by Charles Gianferrari, a designer who collaborated often with Roger Anger. It was made in Pondicherry in one of the Ashram workshops, by a team led by Vincenzo Maiolini. Here are a few photos of the Urn’s journey from manufacture to inauguration.
One day,I hope to share with you the story behind Vincenzo taking up the actual work of making the Urn and humour in the situation.
I was privileged to be an associate of his in Tojour Mieu and a friend thru out till he left us to rest in Mother’s lap…
