Vaishali Jain, a radiant 27 year old young woman, known to her close friends as Vishu, tragically left her body on Sunday 1st of September at 12:12 due to a traffic accident.
Originally from Delhi, she made Auroville her new home in 2021. She immersed herself in the life and culture of Auroville, being active and volunteering for several activities and communities of Auroville, such as the Youth Centre, Revelation Forest, Kalabhumi, Upcycling, and numerous art festivals and events. She was a beloved member of our community touching many lives with her bright smile.
Being an Artist herself, Vaishali was also known amongst the artists of Auroville for her generous and open heart. She was passionate about the Arts and organized spaces where Artists could co-create and collaborate. She will be remembered by our community as a free-spirited, fun-loving, and kind soul who held space for the sharing of Art in and around Auroville.
She is fondly remembered and lives on in the hearts of her family and those fortunate enough to have called her a friend.
