Hall

The Hall is the méditation place of Nalanda Retreat Center.

The architecture of the hall has been carefully designed to create an inspiring space for meditation.

Its circular shape—enveloping like a womb—encourages a turning inward. It is open in all directions. The stained-glass windows reflect a colorful, alluring outside world while drawing our attention back to the central opening, which awakens our sense of verticality: a beam of light descends from the sky through the center of a six-pointed star, tracing a perfect mandala on the floor in the evening.

Upstairs, a vast terrace with a panoramic view offers an ideal setting for yoga, walking meditation, or simply admiring the colors of the sunset.
