The park was constructed at a cost of approximately 685 crore rupees.
It is built on a site that was once designated as part of a floodplain development zone.
The complex houses a series of 24 large elephant statues, which are significant symbols in the Dalit movement.
The main structure is built using red sandstone, chosen to match the architectural aesthetic of other historical monuments in North India.
The park is designed with a focus on symmetry and follows strict geometric planning in its layout.
Rashtriya Dalit Prerna Sthal and Green Garden is a sprawling 33-acre memorial park located on the banks of the Yamuna River in Noida. Inaugurated in 2011, the site is dedicated to social reformers and leaders, including Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Kanshi Ram, and Mayawati. The park features a monumental sandstone complex housing life-sized statues of these figures and a dedicated museum. The architectural design utilizes red sandstone sourced from Mirzapur. It serves as both a public green space and a site for political and social remembrance. The grounds include expansive lawns, pathways, and water features designed to accommodate large gatherings. The museum displays artifacts, photographs, and dioramas detailing the lives and ideologies of the honored leaders. It is distinct for its massive scale and its status as one of the largest memorials of its kind in India.
The main plaza featuring the row of elephant statues provides a striking, symmetrical backdrop.
Wear comfortable walking shoes as the park covers a large, open area with significant walking distances.
Carry a hat or sunglasses, as there is limited shade in the main open courtyard sections.
Keep a bottle of water with you, as the expansive nature of the park can be dehydrating in the heat.
Avoid visiting during the peak afternoon hours of the summer season due to the extreme heat radiating off the stone surfaces.
Closed on Tuesdays for maintenance.
Maintain a respectful demeanor; avoid disruptive noise or activities in memorial areas; photography is permitted but should remain respectful of the statues and monuments.
