Buddha Garden
Description:
The Buddha Garden or the Buddha Jayanti Park is one of the numerous newly laid gardens of Delhi. The Buddha garden is relatively new and has a sense of freshness in every corner. The Buddha Jayanti Park was laid to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of Lord Buddha Nirvana. Buddha Jayanti Park is situated in South Delhi, on the Ridge Road, near Dhaula Kuan.
The Buddha Jayanti Park is situated amidst dense forest of the Southern ridge and covers a significant area of the ridge. This park has special place in Indian religious tradition because a sapling of the Bodhi Tree was brought from Sri Lanka and planted here.Bodhi tree under which Lord Buddha got enlightenment at Bodh Gaya in Bihar. Later in 261BC, Kunal, the son of emperor Ashoka, took a sapling from that tree and planted it in Sri-Lanka.
The park also arranges Buddhism discourse classes on regular basis that are very popular among the foreigners. Game facility is available for children here but pets are strict no-no. Its situated in a lonely area, so try not to venture out in night. The picturesque garden boasts of paved pathways, lush landscaped lawns, blossoming flowers, streams, sloping terrain and huge trees.
