DHARAMSHALA, 30 JAN: Dharamshala town will soon have a mega Buddha theme park as it is the home to H.H. the Dalai Lama and where the seat of the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) resides, reports Times of India (TOI). The concerned authorities are searching for a spot to acquire 300 kanals in one of the suburbs of the famous hill town.
Khanyara area of the Kangra region is one of the proposed sites as of now. The project will reportedly have a space to host thousand of persons (with stay and meals) along with a convention and Buddhist research centres. If the project concretizes as it has been envisioned, it will be one of the biggest of its kind in the state.
Rakesh Kumar Prajapati, Deputy Commissioner of Kangra, has confirmed that efforts for a Buddhist themed park are underway and revenue teams of the project have also visited the proposed site. As per the report, funds of around Rs. 80 Crore will be allocated for this project by Asian Development Bank.
