There are now a number of Retreat Centres in the Tiruvannamalai area which offer sadhakas the opportunity to study a specific spiritual tradition. One such Centre is Dhamma Arunachala, a Vipassana Meditation Centre currently being developed at Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India. It is one of many centres dedicated to the teaching of Vipassana Meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin.

Presently, Dhamma Arunachala can accommodate 70 participants, 40 males and 30 females. All accommodations are single rooms with private bathrooms. Approximately twenty 10-day Courses are scheduled at Dhamma Arunachala per year, with nearly every course full with a wait list. Courses are conducted in English/Tamil.
The centre which is in a quiet rural setting and situated on 12 acres of land was founded in 2014 and is now offering regularly scheduled residential courses in Vipassana meditation. The centre is located close to Arunachala and within 10 km by road to Tiruvannamalai.
