Isha Yoga Center
Isha Yoga Center is a large ashram founded by spiritual teacher Sadhguru, best known to casual visitors for the 34-meter Adiyogi Shiva statue, one of the tallest bust sculptures in the world, along with the Dhyanalinga meditation space, a unique enclosed meditative structure without any particular religious iconography.
Beyond sightseeing, the center runs extensive yoga and meditation programs ranging from short sessions to multi-day retreats, so visits range from a quick look at the statue and grounds to a longer, more immersive stay for those interested in the programs. The setting at the foot of the Velliangiri Hills adds to its appeal even for visitors not participating in any formal program.
