The stupa was built in collaboration with the Nipponzan Myohoji, a Japanese Buddhist order dedicated to global peace.
It is situated on the banks of the Yamuna River, integrated into the landscaping of the Millennium Indraprastha Park.
The monument follows the architectural tradition of the 'Peace Pagoda' movement, which began in Japan after World War II.
The Shanti Stupa in New Delhi is a Buddhist monument located within the Millennium Indraprastha Park along the Ring Road. Constructed to promote world peace, the structure features the characteristic hemispherical dome and white-washed aesthetic of traditional Japanese-style stupas. It serves as a focal point for silent meditation amidst the expansive greenery of the park. The site is maintained by the Delhi Development Authority as part of a larger ecological project. Visitors can observe the architecture from multiple vantage points throughout the surrounding garden paths.
