Golden Domes, Meditation domes in Fairfield, United States
Two geodesic structures with golden roofs cover an area of 25,000 square feet each and rise 35 feet above the Maharishi International University campus.
The first dome opened in December 1979 following a World Peace Assembly, while the second dome was completed in 1981 on the former campus baseball field.
The domes function as centers for group meditation practices and transcendental meditation sessions, supporting the university's consciousness education programs.
Both structures received renovations in 2001 and 2005, including new entrances, perimeter fencing, additional coat rooms, and dedicated spaces for yoga activities.
Each dome features a 7.5-foot kalasha sculpture on its roof, cast in acrylic resin and installed in 1997 to represent specific architectural symbolism.
