Isha Foundation is one of the famous places in whole India. It is basically a Yoga & Meditation centre, run by Jaggi Vasudev (Sadhguru). Tourists come here to feel a spiritual touch and to associate themselves with the divine.
No special chanting are performed here, instead they focus on meditation and remember God in any manner you want. It is located from hustle-bustle of the Coimbatore city. Many people also stay here for some months or years to have a spiritual connection with God.
Lord Adiyogi is worshipped here, as he signifies as someone who is meditating to connect with supreme power.
If you are visiting Coimbatore, then this place should be on top of your sites list.
Here are some of the pictures I took during my recent visit to this place.

Hello @Tushar18 ,
Thank you for sharing this incredible location and amazing photos with us, the area seems very peaceful and calm.
Is this a huge statue of Lord Shiva? Are you interested in yoga and meditation, or you went there only for a tour?
I’ve been doing yoga in the past and I like it very much, is there an entrance fee or a registration in order to access this place?

Hi @BorrisS
Thank you very much for the appreciation. Yes, the area is indeed very peaceful - away from the chaos of Coimbatore city. Yes, this is the statue of Lord Shiva in the meditating pose - by which he was given the name “Adiyogi”.
I went Coimbatore city for vacations and one of my friends there took me to this place. Yes, I’m very much interested in Yoga & meditation and doing it from past some years.
I heard about this place, but never got the chance to visit. There are also many different places inside the ashram, where a person can relax and feel connected with the divine.
Great to hear you were practising Yoga too in the past. It is really good for health as well as for mind.
There is no entrance fee or registration required to visit this place. You can go there at specified time (avoid festive days) and relax there.

You are most welcome to India @BorrisS and explore the list you prepared. You will also get to see many astonishing places here at Isha Foundation, if you spend good amount of time here. This place is quite big and requires some 3-4 hours to complete.
