Within the base of the giant Statue of Belief in Nathdwara, Rajasthan, a museum to evoke self-analysis has been created bringing together a holistic combination of the soul (aatma), mind (mana), and body (tann). The overall space is divided into a series of 18 sequential zones, each of which offers a different experience through the depiction of natural elements through audio visuals and immersive experiences.

Entrance is through a large foyer, designed as a fluid volume. The walls, ceiling, structural columns, reception desk, and seating benches are homogeneously finished with a thin layer of foam concrete that fluidly encapsulates all of these elements, while simultaneously absorbing sound.
