UP govt plans theme parks in Ayodhya, Mathura using urban waste and metal scrap

According to the Urban Development Department’s proposal, these parks will promote the “Waste to Wealth” initiative of the state government.

Officials said the Krishna Lok park in Mathura would showcase different phases of the life of Lord Krishna by using waste and scrap materials.

The images would be in 3D form, with interactive models supported by light and sound shows.

The 3D and interactive images would showcase the birth of Krishna, the defeat of Putana, Bakasur and Kansa.

Apart from the depiction of Krishna’s life, the park will have a theme-based fun zone for children, using shapes like flutes, peacocks for swings and other play areas.

In Ayodhya, the Luv Kush Park would have Purushottam Darshan Anubhav Kendra which will use LED displays, murals and interactive kiosks to depict Lord Ram’s life.

Other parts of the Luv Kush Park will have depictions of the life of Lord Ram’s sons besides theme-based fun and entertainment zones. It will have selfie points with murals and images of bows and arrows.

These parks will not only help tourism but also push revenues of the local municipal bodies of the two cities, the officials said.
