Osho Ashram

Getting around: In Koregaon Park, Pune, reachable by auto-rickshaw or taxi from the city center.
Hours: Visitor access hours and program schedules vary; check current visiting policy directly with the ashram (Osho International Meditation Resort) before planning a visit, since access is more structured than a typical tourist site.

The Osho International Meditation Resort (commonly still called Osho Ashram) is a large meditation and wellness retreat founded around the teachings of the spiritual teacher Osho (Rajneesh), known for its striking black marble buildings, extensive gardens, and a range of meditation and personal growth programs offered to visitors and longer-term residents. It draws a mix of curious tourists and dedicated practitioners from around the world.

Access for casual visitors is more structured than most sightseeing stops, typically requiring registration and sometimes specific dress or program requirements (maroon robes were historically part of the practice, though current policy should be confirmed directly). It's a genuinely distinctive experience within Pune, offering a different kind of visit than typical historical or religious sightseeing.
