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
Earlier the Mother had made me do the painting of this flower as one of the Savitri paintings: Book One, Canto Four.
Here is the sketch done by the Mother in this connection.
I was admiring the flower "Auroville" the Mother gave me.
Meanwhile the Mother drew a sketch of the Matrimandir entrance and explained it to me:
1) The entrance of the Mother's Shrine
2) Small bridge connecting the Shrine and the guardian's house.
3) A box-room. The Mother said that in the box-room the cleaning equipment for the Shrine would be kept. She was very practical.
4) A fountain. The Mother said that before entering the Shrine people would wash their feet at the fountain. In fact, she wanted water to be spread out all over the path leading to the Shrine. This was exactly what the Mother wanted in the entrance of Golconde too.
