Anjali Ashram has a unique architectural design. The entrance to the ashram is marked by an outer mandapa. On both sides of this mandapa, there are two footpaths in a curved fashion, taking you to the inner area directly. If you walk directly through the mandapa, you reach another structure used for meditations and prayer meetings. Then comes the hostel for inmates. Then comes the sanctum. The last building is the sanctum sanctorum, containing the chapel and the residential arrangements for the inmates. The small cottages for the inmates are built on either side of the sanctum sanctorum. There is a footpath that takes you directly to the other gate from the sanctum sanctorum.
Anjali Ashram is a Christian retreat in Mysore city in the Karnataka province of India.
