Vérité's entire campus is a "positive health" zone, free of smoking, alcohol and drugs ("S.A.D"). While our state-of-the-art solar electricity system means Vérité is free from India's infamous power cuts, we also make it easy to "unplug": there are no televisions, mobile phones are used only in designated areas, and to reduce radiation exposure, internet is intentionally not wireless.

Notes for Guests

Some practical notes for prospective guests:


The atmosphere in Vérité is much more like an "eco-home-stay" than a hotel:


  • we have 4 twin sharing double bedrooms with air conditioned facility as well as simple guest rooms with ceiling fans, most with shared (detached) bathroom facilities
  • lounge/ kitchenette open 24/7
  • quiet hours between 9 pm and 7 am
  • renewable energy, so no use of hair dryers or other high-consuming appliances
  • hot water available in rooms with attached bath and by bucket from a water heater near the common bathrooms
  • everyone helps out, taking care of their own room and dishes
  • we're helpful with special needs, but please don't expect room service
  • no smoking, no alcohol and no illegal drugs anywhere on the premises

Meals

Kitchen and Dining Hall 

Vérité is known for its organic, vegetarian kitchen, where our guests can sign up for 1, 2 or 3 meals per day. Produce comes first from Vérité's garden, then Auroville farms, and then from local organic distributors. We support organic agriculture because we value healthy food, the land, the planet and its biodiversity.

Our cuisine is Western-Indian fusion, with an Ayurvedic influence; flavorful but not too spicy, with healthy oils and nutritional balance. Our staff is well trained in hygienic food preparation, so even the raw produce is safe to eat. With advance notice, special dietary needs can be accommodated (e.g. food allergies and sensitivities).

Guests eat with Vérité residents, staff, and faculty in the dining hall, making meal times a rich opportunity for socializing and networking. Quiet tables are also available for those preferring to eat in silence. Everyone takes care of washing and drying their own dishes. Guests are also welcome to offer additional help with food preparation and cleanup.

Cooking sessions can be arranged for groups (contact Vérité programming for more information).
