Global Vipassana Pagoda
Global Vipassana Pagoda in Mumbai offers meditation, Buddha relics, and a landmark dome.
The Global Vipassana Pagoda in Mumbai is a spiritual landmark and one of the Seven Wonders of Maharashtra, featuring the world's largest stone dome built without supporting pillars. The campus houses the enshrined bone relics of Gautama Buddha from Bhattiprolu, Guntur district, and serves as an experiential gallery open on weekends and holidays. Visitors can enjoy a self-conducted audio-visual tour with no entry fee, though outside food is prohibited from March 1, 2024, with economical options available on-site. The site offers a rare opportunity to attend a free 10-minute Anapana meditation course near the Buddha's relics, open daily from 10 am to 6:30 pm for those aged 10 and above. While the Mini-Anapana course is available, strict guidelines require silence, mobile phones to be switched off, and adherence to dress codes prohibiting revealing attire or intoxicants. The pagoda also honors Respected Shri SN Goenkaji, who received the Padma Bhushan Award in 2012 for distinguished social service. Located accessible by road, public transport, and various Mumbai transport hubs, the campus maintains a serene environment for meditation and reflection.
