Delhi’s Waste to Wonder Park

Ever wondered what it would be like seeing the 7 wonders of the world at one place? Impossible right? But what if it’s possible and that too in the National capital, Delhi! Inaugurated on 21st February 2019 by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, the Waste to Wonder Park features the miniature replicas of seven iconic monuments from across the world. The Waste to Wonder Park is spread across 6 acres of land at the Rajiv Gandhi Smriti Van near Sarai Kale Khan ISBT, Delhi. But that’s not what makes this theme park special— the park features replicas of the Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, Great Pyramid of Giza, Leaning Tower of Pisa, Christ the Redeemer, and Rome’s Colosseum— all created from around 150 tons of scrap, including 90 tons of industrial waste and waste automobile parts. The waste has been collected by SDMC and been put together in 180 days and over 100 artists, welders, and helpers, and five artists — Rakesh Rana, Anuj Poddar, Pijush Kanti Patra, Sandip Pisalkar and Prem Kumar Vaishya— from the College of Fine Arts, The University of Baroda were engaged to complete it.
