The Buddha Jayanti Park, set in the beautiful environs of the Delhi ridge was created to commemorate the
2500th anniversary of Buddha’s enlightenment. Besides being a lush and verdant green space, the park also
houses a statue of Buddha and a Bodhi tree.
Ladakh Buddhist Vihar, close to ISBT, by the banks of the Yamuna, houses a beautiful Buddhist temple, as well as a hustling‐bustling market of woolen and other readymade clothes.
Not very far from the Vihar, the charming Tibetan colony at Majnu ka Tila is like a recreation of another world, another place in the city of Delhi.
