Char Dham replica sites at Delhi's Bharat Darshan park

NEW DELHI: Even as South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) is making efforts to get the Bharat Darshan park ready by September, it has now decided to add four new replicas of Char Dham pilgrimage sites as well.
The proposal was approved in the standing committee meeting on Thursday. “The work at the park has been delayed a little due to rains, but we are going to get the park ready by September.Replicas of the temples at the four dhams—Jagannath Puri, Rameshwaram, Badrinath and Dwarka Puri—will also be prepared in this period only,” said a south corporation official.
SDMC standing committee chairman Col (retd) BK Oberoi said that the decision to add these replicas was taken as per the lieutenant governor’s suggestion. “With the addition of these four dhams, we will be able to cover 14 states, including Uttarakhand (Badrinath),” said the official.
Oberoi said that these new replicas would not increase the overall cost of the budget. TNN
