Buddha Sculpture in Buddha Garden Delhi by Artist Neeraj Gupta

 


You've probably heard of New Delhi's famous Buddha Garden, but you never know who looks after it. Neeraj Gupta, an Indian sculpture artist and environmentalist, has been the president of Buddha Jayanti Park for many years.

 The important works which were executed by Neeraj Gupta with the help of Govt. agencies

  • The first significant step was to define the limits of the Budha Garden by erecting rubble stone walls in the back portion to separate it from the rest of the central ridge forest region so that Nilgai (Bluebuck) and others do not destroy it.
  • Gupta created a sculpture on the topic of enlightenment and had it erected at the gate's entrance to make it more beautiful, and with lights at night, it became a point of interest.
  • The Budha Jayanti Park is located within the territorial jurisdiction of the New Delhi Municipal Council, but it is maintained by the CPWD because it was built by the central government. As a result, basic coordination was required. The CPWD is not a government agency. As a result, New Delhi Municipal Council assistance was required for garbage management, dog sterilisation, and electricity delivery, among other things, and coordination between these authorities was lacking.
  • The permanent Gardens Malis were very few with CPWD, so they hired contractual labour for day today work and these temporary labourers were encroaching the garden and causing all kinds of nuisance also. So to shift them from the main Garden and shift to a place which would not be encroachment in the Garden was a major task.
  • There were various departments within CPWD responsible for Budha Jayanti Park, such as civil horticulture, electrical, raw water supply, architecture, and so on, and coordination between them was completely lacking. I arranged regular coordination meetings in which not only these several ministries but also other agencies such as NDMC, Forest, DTB, Delhi Police, and PWD were invited to have a coordinated approach. Many productive outcomes developed when dustbins were put across the city; garbage was collected in them and transported to DHALAO for regular disposal.
  • The forest department had a wall built outside the Budha Garden border wall, completely concealing the Budha Garden from the roadside. As a result, beautiful gates of matching landscape of Budha Garden designs were erected at a significant height to make it attractive and noticeable from the road.
  • Kul Babool was once brought to Budha Garden to provide greenery without the need for manpower. But it was annihilating the original Flora. To counteract this, Native species were planted every year.
  • All laws that had been completely destroyed or were in steady decay were revitalised.
  • The significant message of Buddha was etched on stone and set at strategic locations to create the Garden of Spiritual Wisdom.
  • The most important feature of this garden was Bal bodhi Tree which was unique and one of it’s kind in India.This story was engraved on the stone got it erected adjacent to it so that people know of  this great heritage. Also the Satchi Stup style structurte was got erected around the Bal Bodhi tree to enhance it’s significance.
