Hosting venue
Located on the outskirts of Hyderabad, Telangana, Kanha Shanti Vanam is the world headquarters of the Heartfulness Institute. This Heartfulness campus is a learning meditation center developing green initiatives through the restoration of the Decan Plateau into a lush green ecosystem, including rainforest and more.
With this green environmental initiative, Heartfulness Institute is nurturing India’s mega-biodiversity, indigenous and endangered species. “We adopt the latest technologies with scientific planning to create an ex-situ conservation center, replete with splendid green spaces,” says Dr Ramakantha, Director of Forests by Heartfulness.
The center received the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) Platinum award in 2019 for following worldclass environment friendly practices, becoming the first meditation center in the world to achieve the feat.
At the heart of the campus is the Pearl Hotel (43 rooms and a restaurant), one of the various facilities located inside the 340-acre campus in close proximity to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport
