Huta's letter to The Mother in 1965 inspired the creation of Matrimandir; it was to Huta that The Mother first explained Her concept of Auroville's town-plan.
The Mother : Contact Auroville
Huta had a strong connection with Auroville – a letter of hers to the Mother in 1965 inspired the creation of Matrimandir, the Mother’s Shrine; and it was to Huta that the Mother first explained, with sketches, her concept for the town-plan of Auroville. In 1966 Huta produced the painting which the Mother named ‘The Spirit of Auroville.’ All this is told in her books 'Matrimandir the Mother’s Truth and Love' and 'The Spirit of Auroville'.
THEME/S
On 19.3.66 the exhibition of Auroville was declared open in the house where now Pourna Prema (the Mother's granddaughter) resides. I framed the picture and sent it to the Mother. She wrote:
The picture looks quite nice in the frame. It is already at the exhibition.
For almost one and a half years the painting remained where it had been put. Then, unhappily, it was removed on 28.6.68 by an American, William Netter.
When I took the painting to the Mother the same day, she was extremely sad and asked me to keep it with the paintings of Savitri in Golconde.
