Developed by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, Bharat Darshan Park is situated at Punjabi Bagh, New Delhi. Spreading over 8.5 acres of land, the park consists of replicas of 21 historical monuments of India, which include Meenakshi Temple (in the picture), Konark Temple, Khajuraho Temple, Jaggannath Puri, Hawa Mahal, Taj Mahal, Qutab Minar, Char Minar etc.  All these replicas are made of waste/junk material dumped at various stores/workshops of Municipal Corporation of Delhi.

This park is the second of its kind in Delhi. The first one (also developed by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi) was the brainchild of the then Municipal Commissioner Dr. Puneet Kumar Goel, who got the idea of this park from a movie song picturized at the Seven Wonders Park, Kota (Rajasthan) India.
