Founded by Sadhguru, the Isha Foundation is located in the Velliangiri Hills and is focused on helping individuals reach their true potential. It is popular among tourists for four major paths of yoga: gnana (knowledge), karma (action), kriya (energy), and bhakti (devotion). The centre is home to the architecturally-distinct Spanda Hall and garden, a meditation hall, which is 64,000 sq ft in size. There is also the dhyanalinga, a unique and powerful energy-form sitting under a pillar-less 250,000-brick dome structure, as well as a theerthakund.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the face of Adiyogi – the source of yoga at Isha Yoga Centre. At 112 ft in height, it is considered to be one of the tallest bust statues in the world.
