What a gorgeous serene place. Spent a lot of time here just enjoying the cold breeze in the garden and absorbing the silence of the place.

One can cover this place when you are visiting Akshardham temple as it lies in Millenium park which is near to Akshardham. This stupa is a symbol of peace. There are four beautiful statues of Buddha in different postures which have been beautifully made. A copy of Sanchi Stupa this reflects peace and divinity at its best.

Delhi's Vishwa Shanti Stupa is one of the latest attractions to be added to the city's long list of places to visit. The stupa is a beautiful white stupa, with gilded statues of the Buddha on each of the four sides. The gateway to the stupa resembles the gateway at Sanchi Stupa in Madhya Pradesh. The monument is dedicated to world peace. It is one of many such stupas around the world (there are over 80 across the world, including several in India) and the Dalai Lama was present for the inauguration of the project in Delhi in 2007.

being a Delhite by birth, I have seen most parts of the city. This area used to be a dumping ground for New Delhi area as it was on the outskirts of the main city but after 1980s, the area around Nizamuddin Railway station grew so fast, including coming up of Nizamuddin Bridge, this dumping ground gradually developed into a large landscaped park and sometime in 2004, construction of this Vishva Shanti Stupa (World Peace Pagoda) was started and inaugurated on 14-November-2014. Relics and Sacred Objects for this Stupa were donated by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the President of Sri Lanka, the President of Mongolia, and the Prime Minister of Nepal.
Must-do thing for Buddhists coming to India.

Even though it is located close to Qutab Minar most of the tourists miss this enchanting and beautiful place. Situated closer to the Qutab minar metro station, one will find peace within visiting this place.

It is a beautiful stupa. Main stupa is built and other parts are under construction. There is a cafe near to it in indiraprasth park. Nearest metro station is Nizamuddin. You can take e-rickshaw or auto from metro to reach here or if you wanna walk then enter the intraprastha park and at the end of that you will see this stupa.

The pristine white Shanti Stupa stands beside the Ring Road, a part of the much larger area known as Indraprastha Park. You can either walk into Indraprastha Park from one of its many entrances along the main road, and then walk through the park to get to the Vishwa Shanti Stupa, or you can enter from the gate right outside the Stupa itself. My daughter and I chose to enter through the gate outside the Shanti Stupa. From this gate, it’s just a few metres in, to the stupa.
The stupa is located in the middle of a beautiful lawn, with flowerbeds and trees around, and the area beyond decorated in a way to evoke Japan and Buddhism: there are Japanese-style stone lanterns dotted across the space, and in the distance, there is a small-scale (and not very realistic-looking) plaster replica of Mt Fuji. This part, which also has some other plaster replicas, was however fenced off so we could not go and have a closer look.
The pathway to the stupa itself leads through an impressive carved stone gateway which looks like a replica of the one at Sanchi. The stupa, all beautiful white marble and with gilded figures of the Buddha placed in niches facing the cardinal directions, stands beyond this, with a series of plaques at its base, explaining the history of the stupa. This was inaugurated in 2007 with a view to helping foster world peace as envisioned by the Japanese Buddhist monk Fujii Guruji (1885-1985), who established the Nipponzan-Myohoji order of Buddhism. The Dalai Lama (who presided at the stupa’s inauguration) donated Buddhist relics to be housed here, as did dignitaries from Sri Lanka, Mongolia and Nepal.
Since my daughter and I visited on a hot and sunny day, we decided not to climb the stupa, since that would require taking off our shoes, and we guessed the stone would be very hot.
Near the entrance, opposite the stupa, is a rather less spiritual space: this includes a food court (which looks more like a set of very downmarket dhabas, and which we avoided) as well as a children’s play area, which was so dusty and rusted that I didn’t let my child get on there.
Entry to the stupa is free.
