The magnificent building of 4,800 sm (51,500 sf) has a timbre frame and a striking copper roof, a typical feature of the local architecture.

The center offers residential courses to those already practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique, as well as the opportunity to learn TM in this serene setting.

With its 56 guest rooms and eight conference/classrooms, the building also serves as a clinic for Maharishi Ayurveda treatments and consultations.
