Die Telangana State Tourism Development Corporation (TSTDC), die große Pläne zur Entwicklung und Rekonstruktion buddhistischer Stätten und Klöster im Bundesstaat hat, hat von der Regierung Sri Lankas die 27 Fuß hohe Nachbildung der stehenden Buddha-Statue erhalten, berichtete Times of India.

Der in Nagarjunasagar entstehende historische Themenpark Sriparvatarama (Buddhavanam) soll der erste buddhistische Themenpark des Landes sein.

Die Statue wurde im Rahmen des indisch-srilankischen Kulturaustauschprogramms gespendet und im Meditationsbereich Dhyanavanam des Parks aufgestellt.

Die Regierung Sri Lankas spendete außerdem Dhamma Bell und zeigte Interesse am Bau ihres Singhalesisch-Vihara-Komplexes auf dem Gelände von Sriparvatarama (Buddhavanam).

Laut TSTDC-Vorsitzendem P. Ramulu geht das TSTDC davon aus, dass in Kürze weitere buddhistische Organisationen ihre Aktivitäten aufnehmen werden. Die Behörden erwarten in naher Zukunft auch eine gute Reaktion aus südostasiatischen Ländern.
