Buddha Jayanti Park

Buddha Jayanti Park

The Buddha Jayanti Smarak Park is situated in southern part of the Delhi ridge in New Delhi, India.

It was created on the occasion of the 2500th anniversary of Gautama Buddha's enlightenment. A sapling of the Bodhi Tree in Sri Lanka was planted here.

On an artificial island in the park stands pavilion with a gilded Buddha statue in it. It was dedicated by the 14th Dalai Lama in October 1993.

Each year in May the Buddha Jayanti festival is celebrated here.
