Delhi is preparing to unveil one of its most ambitious cultural and recreational destinations as the Bharat Vandana Park in Dwarka Sector 20 enters its final stage of development. The park’s flagship attraction, a “Mini India” zone spread across 220 acres, is designed to replicate iconic monuments from every state and Union Territory, symbolising the nation’s diversity in a single destination.
Officials overseeing the project confirmed that nearly 80 to 90 percent of the replicas are complete, with remaining work involving landscaping, irrigation systems, lighting, and water channels. Developed by the Delhi Development Authority and executed by a leading public sector construction firm, the park is expected to open to the public later this year, positioning Dwarka as a cultural and recreational hotspot in the Capital.

The “Mini India” is being designed as a scaled map of the country, where each monument is recreated at one twenty-fifth of its actual size. The project incorporates architectural precision, with replicas crafted using reinforced concrete, steel, stone cladding, and modern 3D-printed components. Replicas of Parliament House, Hawa Mahal, Sun Temple of Konark, Meenakshi Temple, Statue of Unity and many more will feature in seven clusters divided regionally, giving visitors a panoramic tour of India without leaving the city.
Officials added that the park’s infrastructure has been conceptualised with sustainability at its core. Energy-efficient LED lighting, sewage treatment plants with a combined capacity of over 2 million litres a day, and water recycling systems are being integrated into the facility. Landscaping will feature native flora, while electric carts and pedestrian-friendly pathways will promote low-emission mobility within the park.Beyond monuments, the development includes food plazas serving regional cuisines, souvenir shops, amphitheatres, boating facilities, and ecological zones. Officials have also emphasised accessibility, with bridges and mobility aids planned to ensure inclusivity for all visitors.
Urban development experts note that Bharat Vandana Park is more than a leisure destination it represents a shift in Delhi’s urban landscape towards eco-friendly, cultural hubs that integrate heritage, sustainability, and tourism. For Dwarka, which has rapidly grown as a residential and institutional centre, the park could be a catalyst for economic and cultural vibrancy, attracting both domestic and international tourists.As Delhi readies for the unveiling, Bharat Vandana Park is being projected as the Capital’s answer to Brussels’ Mini Europe, but with a distinctly Indian identity. Once operational, it is set to become not just a symbol of national unity in diversity, but also a model for green, inclusive urban recreation in the country.
