Ashrams in ancient India were Hindu hermitages where sages lived in peace and tranquility amidst nature. Sacrifices and penances were performed in them. Many Ashrams also served as Gurukuls or schools for children.
A number of Ashrams have been founded in India in the 20th century as well, most notably the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad which served as Mahatma Gandhi's headquarters during the long struggle for India's independence and Aurobindo Ashram, founded in Pondicherry by the Bengali revolutionary-turned-Hindu-mystic Aurobindo Ghosh.
