Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena on Thursday laid the foundation stone of a park being built as part of a project that consolidates seven fragmented green pockets into one horticultural space.
Once completed, the project located in Ashok Vihar Phase II will turn the area into one large park, named 'Vaishnavi', spanning nearly 33 acres.
According to a senior official at Raj Niwas, the project consolidates seven fragmented green pockets at Ashok Vihar Phase II to develop one large park of approximately 33 acres that has been named “Vaishnavi” — a name given to the plant Tulsi, the most sacred of all plants, also another name of “Goddess Parvati” and also “she who belongs to Lord Vishnu”. The Landscape scheme captures the space symbolism from Samkhya Philosophy.
