A Window into the Aesthetic Soul of Jeevandhara

At Jeevandhara, art and nature are not separate from prayer—they are its silent partners. This page invites you to glimpse the beauty that shapes our inner life: not just in galleries or gardens, but in the way a leaf holds dew, or how a hand shapes clay with reverence.

This is a space where the soul can breathe.

Scenes from the Ashram

Explore a curated photo gallery of our surroundings—quiet corners of the house, forest trails bathed in mist, the morning sun slanting through pine trees, or the humble altar beneath an open sky.
Each image is a meditation in itself, inviting you into the serenity of our sacred hill.

🎨 Handcrafted Icons and Works

Here we share glimpses of artistic work created in and for the ashram—hand-painted icons, simple line sketches, clay lamps, and seasonal arrangements made with leaves, stones, or fabric.
These are not artworks for exhibition, but expressions of contemplation, created in silence and love.

“The Christian icon does not imitate—it participates.”
— Pavel Florensky

🕊️ Sacred Spaces in Nature

Walk with us along the stone paths that lead to hidden prayer spots, under trees that have witnessed many whispered prayers, past flower beds tended in quiet joy.
You’ll find sacred spaces marked not by grandeur but by gentleness: a small cross beneath a pine tree, a bench looking eastward, a cairn of prayer stones at the bend of a trail.
