The country’s first Vedic theme park has opened up in Noida, Uttar Pradesh Sector 78. Built with Rs 27 crore, the park has more than 50,000 plants that are mentioned in the Vedas such as banyan, kalpavriksha, and coconut, Times of India reported.

It will also highlight excerpts from the four Vedic literature pieces -- Rig Veda, Atharva Veda, Yajur Veda, and Sama Veda -- via laser shows, wall paintings, and sculptures.

The park, named Vedvan, was inaugurated by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

The construction of the park had begun in January 2021. The land on which it has been built used to be a dump yard, Vandana Srivastava from Noida Authority told the publication. The soil in the area had to be compacted and trees were then planted.
