Osho International Meditation Resort

Osho moved to the property at 17 Koregaon Park, Pune in 1974, where the commune grew rapidly around him. Through the late 1970s the ashram became a global destination for seekers — at its peak, tens of thousands from across the world were resident or visiting at any one time. The Pune phase introduced what became Osho's signature contribution to modern spirituality: active meditations like Dynamic Meditation (cathartic breathing and movement followed by stillness) and Kundalini Meditation (shaking and dancing), designed for "modern minds" too restless for traditional silent sitting.

After the controversial Rajneeshpuram years in Oregon and Osho's return to India, the Pune ashram became the institutional home of the movement. Osho took mahasamadhi in 1990. The commune was rebranded as the Osho International Meditation Resort and continues to operate today as a curated retreat space — a black-pyramid auditorium, marble walkways, a swimming pool, a meditation hall, and a strict no-photography, maroon-robe protocol. It remains one of the most polarising spaces in modern Indian spirituality and one of the most visually distinctive.
