The variety of places where Osho has spoken in India is simply incredible. This is a survey of all those places, including as well the few (five, underlined) that were outside India. There were some places among them where he was scheduled to speak but perhaps didn't. The places we know of as sure get a tick mark (), while questionable places get a question mark (), signifying rumoured, scheduled, maybe or likely, but not (yet) verified.

One can see relatively quickly that the vast majority of these places are in only three states, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, with 23, 20 and 14 places respectively. All the other Indian states combined come to only 13, with the rest of the world 5.

Most of these places were first visited in the 1960s. This was the first phase of gathering his people, and it took a while. After 1970 his travels to other places dropped considerably, and more and more consisted of "retreat"-like situations in meditation camps rather than crowds in cities.
