About Amritapuri Ashram

Amritapuri Ashram is a major spiritual destination at Vallikavu in Kollam, Keralam, and the headquarters of Mata Amritanandamayi Math. The riverside campus grew around the birthplace and residence associated with Mata Amritanandamayi and today receives visitors from India and abroad. People come for darshan when available, meditation, devotional programmes, spiritual study and volunteer service.

The setting between waterways and the coast gives the ashram a distinctive Keralam atmosphere, while its charitable institutions connect the pilgrimage centre with healthcare, education, disaster relief and community service. Visitors should treat Amritapuri as an active religious community rather than a conventional sightseeing attraction, follow campus guidelines and check current access or programme arrangements before travelling.
