After taking a tour of the Buddhavanam, Dambajav said visiting the park was ‘an amazing experience’ and that he was glad he had visited the ‘modern and iconic Buddhist Heritage Theme Park’.
“I have been in India since the last nine months and am keen to promote and further Mongolia and India’s strategic partnership. I believe that Lord Buddha is a unique spiritual and cultural connect that can further our bilateral relations and cooperation, bringing our countries even close,” he said, adding that Mongolia’s religious presence in India so far was only in Bodh Gaya.
“It is important that we have Mongolia’s religious presence in the South of India as well. Buddhavanam presents a great opportunity and I firmly believe that Mongolia should have a presence in Buddhavanam, be it a monastery or an educational institution,” he added.
Earlier, Buddhavanam Special Officer Mallepalli Laxmaiah briefed the Ambassador on the concept and uniqueness of the project and its components. Dr E Sivanagireddy, Buddhist Expert Consultant, Buddhavanam explained the various themes depicted at the park.
