Dhamma Anchal Vipassana Meditation Centre is a calm and picturesque center located amidst the beautiful valleys of Ambikapur in the Surguja region of Chhattisgarh, making it exceptionally suitable for meditation. In winter, the temperature sometimes drops to zero, and even in summer, the temperature remains moderate.
From here, the hills of Mainpat—often referred to as the “Shimla of Chhattisgarh”—are visible nearby. Most participants of the ten-day courses, having sufficient time on the 11th day, visit and explore the area by evening. The centre follows the Vipassana tradition as taught by Shri S. N. Goenka.

All courses are run solely on a donation basis. All expenses are met by donations from those who, having completed a course and experienced the benefits of Vipassana, wish to give others the same opportunity. Neither the Teacher nor the assistant teachers receive remuneration; they and those who serve the courses volunteer their time. Thus Vipassana is offered free from commercialisation.

Old students are those who have completed a 10-day Vipassana Meditation course with S.N. Goenka or his Assistant Teachers. Old students have the opportunity to provide Dhamma Service at the courses listed.

Bilingual courses are courses which are taught in two languages. All students will hear daily meditation instructions in both languages. The evening discourses will be heard separately.

Meditation courses are held at both center and non-center locations. Meditation centers are dedicated facilities where courses are held regularly throughout the year. Before meditation centers were established in this tradition, all courses were held at temporary sites, such as campgrounds, religious retreat centers, churches and the like. Today, in regions where centers have not yet been established by local students of Vipassana who live in the area, 10 Day meditation courses are held at non-center course sites.


10-day Courses are an introductory course to Vipassana Meditation where the technique is taught step-by-step each day. The courses begin after a 2 - 4 pm registration period and orientation, followed by 10 full days of meditation, and end the morning of the 11th day by 7:30 am.
