Dr. Paulos Mar Gregorios Retreat Centre, Aravalli
The Aravalli Retreat Centre can be seen as the conceptualisation of the long standing dream of the late Dr. Paulos Mar Gregorios, the first Metropolitan of the Diocese of Delhi. This project houses a chapel and a retreat centre. The project responds to the increased depersonalization within the global society due to the stresses brought about by today’s living conditions and the resulting psychological consequences. The project endeavors to provide a secluded area for those seeking solace and tranquillity, where people can be free from the stress and strain of contemporary life and attain realization of their inner selves.
