Dhamma Narmadā

Dhamma Narmadā, the South Gujarat Vipassana Centre, takes its name from the river beside it: dhamma.org gives the meaning as 'holy river of Dhamma'. The centre is on the bank of the Narmada at Uchedia village in Jhagadia taluka, Bharuch district, and its own site places it opposite the Gumandev temple. dhamma.org gives 2021 as the year of its first course. Courses are taught in Hindi, English and Gujarati. As of 2026 the schedule is made up mainly of 10-day courses, with 3-day courses for old students, Satipatthana Sutta courses for experienced old students, and children's courses. The centre's site describes an expansion plan that includes residences for men and women, a kitchen, a dining hall, an office and reception complex, and landscaping.
