Ashrams

Ashrams are spiritual retreats or communities found primarily in Indian culture, where individuals seek personal growth, spiritual awakening, or learning under the guidance of a teacher, or guru. They often focus on meditation, yoga, and study of sacred texts. Ashrams provide a structured environment that encourages discipline, self-reflection, and community living. They can vary in size and purpose, from places for solitary meditation to centers for group teachings and service. Typically, ashrams emphasize a holistic lifestyle, promoting physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
