Not viewing the Matrimandir in Auroville is like not visiting the Eiffel tower when visiting Paris! The Matrimandir can be viewed as a large golden sphere that seems to be emerging out of the earth, symbolizing the birth of a new consciousness. The sight is dramatic at twilight. Visiting passes to the Matrimandir are available for free from the Visitor's Centre.
