Her arrival in Puducherry on April 24, 1920, is celebrated every year with a special darshan and the opening of Sri Aurobindo’s room.
On Monday, people from across the country came to Puducherry to celebrate the occasion at Sri Aurobindo’s ashram. A special meditation session was held around the samadhi after which the devotees queued up to visit the room of Sri Aurobindo.
