Background
India’s first park inspired by Vedic themes has opened its doors to the public in Sector 78 of Noida. The park was inaugurated by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Named Ved Van Park, it boasts an impressive collection of over 50,000 plants mentioned in Vedic literature, including banyan, kalpavriksha, and coconut.
The construction of the park began in January 2021, transforming what was once a dump yard into this beautiful green space. To prepare the area for planting trees and building structures, the soil had to undergo compaction.
About the Park
The Ved Van Park, constructed with a budget of Rs 27 crores, offers a range of exciting features for visitors to enjoy. These include captivating laser and sound shows, as well as eye-catching wall paintings and sculptures that depict excerpts from the Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, and Atharva Veda. The park aims to achieve two goals simultaneously: educating visitors about Vedic literature while providing them with entertainment.
The Ved Van Park is divided into seven zones, each named after a renowned Vedic sage: Kashyap, Agastya, Vishvamitra, Vasishtha, Atri, Gautam, and Bharadwaj. Within these zones, visitors can explore educational exhibits that showcase sacred texts discussing the lives and teachings of these sages. The park’s walls are adorned with vibrant artwork depicting scenes from the Vedas.
For those seeking tranquility and inner peace, the park offers serene meditation gardens where one can practice yoga. These gardens provide an ideal setting to connect with oneself. Moreover, the park features a Vedic Knowledge Centre that serves as a hub for delving deeper into Vedic literature. Visitors can attend workshops and talks on various topics, such as Vedic astrology, Ayurveda, and traditional Indian music.
