After arriving here from Chennai, Modi reached the ashram where he was received by the officials. He paid floral tributes at the memorial of Aurobindo and meditated for a few minutes. Later, he interacted with the children of the International School of Education run by the ashram. He then left for Auroville (City of Dawn) International Township situated in neighbouring Villupuram district of Tamil Nadu where he will participate in the golden jubilee celebrations.
