DELHI: BHARAT DARSHAN PARK- A Journey Through India's Rich Cultural Heritage in Delhi

Greetings everyone,

I hope you all are hale and hearty!

I am back with another blog on my visit to Bharat Darshan Park.

Bharat Darshan Park is located in Punjabi Bagh, New Delhi.

It is a very beautiful, unique and innovative place with glimpse of some important monuments spread across India.

The park houses various monuments which have been made from material seized by the MCD. This material was later given different shapes and sizes to make replicas of beautiful monuments. Some of the materials used for making are Angles, Pipes, Cycle Fork, Tyre Rims, Cycle Tyres, Car Steering & Gates, Nut & Bolts, Cycle Pedals, Electric Pole, pistons, gas cylinders etc.

One can find glimpse of the replicas of 21 monuments namely,

Tawang gate, Qutab Minar, Charminar, Gateway of India, Taj Mahal, Konark Temple, Victoria Memorial, Sanchi stupa, Hampi, Meenakshi Temple, Mysore Palace, Ajanta & Ellora caves, Hawa Mahal, Gol Gumbaz, Khajuraho Temple, Nalanda university, Junagarh Fort, Badrinath temple, Dwarkadhish Temple, Rameshwaram Temple, Jagannath Temple and a Banyan Tree.

Apart from monuments some other beautiful designs have also made from waste material in the park like sitting benches, tables, chairs etc..

In evening, light and sound show also happen at the premises.

Some interesting facts-

Bharat Darshan Park was inaugrated on 24 December 2021 and was open for public from 25 December 2021.
It is spread over 8.5 acres
It took almost 22 months to get constructed
Municipal Corporation of Delhi has constructed this park and is maintaining the same.
The park has combined music with at least 200 shades of lights to beautify each of these replicas.
The park also has amphitheatre, walking track, eating plaza, fountains, children zone and beautiful flowers & trees.
Cost of construction was around ₹20 crores
Around 755 facade lights, 600 bollard lights, one DJ set and 102 compound lights have been installed to illuminate the replicas in the evening.

These sculptures are painstakingly crafted by skilled artisans, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of India .Various artists from all over India like Zakhir Khan, Krunal Kehar, Kamar Alam have designed these phenomenal architectures.

Furthermore, Bharat Darshan Park aims to create awareness about environmental conservation and sustainability. Another thing which I loved about the park was the ecological measure taken to generate electricity using solar energy. Solar trees and solar roofs have been installed for the same. As a result the park is generating more green power than it is using.

After the creation of this park natural habitat has also increased extensively. Various new birds and beautiful insects can also be seen. Some birds include Peacock, sparrow, Koel etc.

The park is designed to resemble a journey across India, showcasing the distinct cultural heritage of different states through its carefully curated exhibits.

The park also features beautifully landscaped gardens, dotted with fountains, walkways, and seating areas, providing a serene and tranquil ambiance for visitors to relax and soak in the beauty of the surroundings.
