Buddha Jayanti Park
Buddha Jayanti Park is a quiet, forested park within Delhi's Ridge area built to commemorate 2,500 years since the Buddha's birth, centered on a large golden Buddha statue and a sapling grown from the original Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya. It's a low-key, green retreat rather than a major landmark, popular with joggers, walkers, and locals seeking a break from city noise.
It's best treated as a peaceful, unhurried stop, especially in the early morning or late afternoon, and works well combined with other central Delhi sightseeing given its location near the Ridge.
