I visited this place in the last month. Located in Central Nagpur.
Deekshabhoomi is holy religious place for Buddhist. Here great Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar (The Architect of the Constituation of India) along with his 6 lakh followers took ‘Deeksha’ of Buddhism.
The construction of Deekshabhoomi Stupa was started in 1968 which took more than 30 years to complete.
Stupa is dome shape and it is hollow inside. A beautiful statue of Lord Buddha is placed inside at the center of the stupa. In the hall inside, we can also see photos of some events in life of Dr Ambedkar. Information about these events is mentioned below each photo. We can also see another statues of Lord Buddha and Dr Ambedkar outside the stupa.
The place was not at all crowded that day. When I asked security person there, he told me that usually Sunday is rush day here. This place is also crowded on 14 April (Dr Ambedkar Jayanti) and 06 Dec (Mahaparinirwan Din).
You are right. This place is in very good condition. Housekeeping staff is doing their job continuously. Security is there all time as a special police guard room is there inside the campus.
The monument is open for all 7 days of week from 07.00am to 08.00pm. (I have mentioned this in the post)
Nagpur Metro: Started operation in March 2020 I guess. It is not in operation with full strength. Partial operations began last year. Full operations shall begin at end of this year.
I travelled in the metro and found the service is excellent as like in Delhi & Mumbai.
निवांतपणे बघण्यासाठी साधारण एक ते दीड तास पुरेसा आहे. स्तूपामधील फोटो आणि माहिती खरोखर बघण्यासारखी आहे. परंतु आतमध्ये फोटोग्राफीला परवानगी नसल्यामुळे तेथे फोटो काढू शकलो नाही.
Woww…very nice post about Deekshabhoomi. Very nice photos you have shared with good information. I feel very calm and happy inside stupa. It’s very nice feeling. Thank you @abhishekpatk for sharing it with us.
