This place has its own history, in 1956 Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar took Buddha Dhamma with almost 5 lac people, one Bodhi vruksha which is very old is also here. Book stall also available for books and CD. Washroom and drinking water facility available. Nice place to visit with kids, to tell history of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar.

One such popular and significant Buddhist monument is Deekshabhoomi. A prime attraction in the city of Nagpur... Deekshabhoomi is located at the spot where the architect of the Indian Constitution, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, converted to Buddhism on October 14, 1956. It was a historic and auspicious day as 600,000 people followed Dr. Ambedkar in the conversion to Buddhism. The literal meaning of ‘Deekshabhoomi’ is the ground where people got ordained as Buddhists. Dr. Ambedkar said he chose Nagpur for his conversion to Buddhism as it was the land of the ‘Nag’ people who supported Buddhism in its early days.

The ultimate place in Nagpur for the followers of Buddhism . And one of the jewel of Nagpur! It was created for the sole purpose of Buddhism , but it became more than that. Now it is a carnival of devotees . Devotes of knowledge , devotees of peace , devotees of God and education. This place needs to be out of political terms and if well maintained this place will be heaven for travels. And I hope someday it might bring tourists from around the world here to Nagpur.

The majestic deekshabhoomi is a central memorial built after the original Buddhist architecture, a replica of the famous stupa erected by the great emperor ashoka at sanchi, madhya pradesh. It is the biggest ever stupa in the Asian continent. It was inaugurated on thursday, 18th December 2001 by the then president of india K.R. Narayan.

Its a really calm place inside the dome.You wont find anybody talking.You are not allowed to touch anything.It would have been better if there would have been some details mentioned there.there were details but was not clear.Its good for people who feel things by seeing itself. I didnt find that much interesting ,but good place for having peace of mind, for that I would recommend to visit this place. This place need little revamping ,decorations outside ,proper lighting. I would suggest to visit here in the evening as its waste of time to visit during morning and afternoon.

The visit was an inspiration for me - the shrine of one the tallest leaders our country had who piloted the constitution bill and laid the foundations for a democratic republic of India.However the place could do with better maintenance. Wonder why the government of India does not declare it as a heritage monument and upgrade it to a stature befitting one of the heroes of our nation

Deekshabhoomi is a nice place. There is a big tomb which is built which looks very attractive. Deekshabhumi is surrounded by a nice greenery space.There is a big tree available which is very nicely maintained and the tree is very old age. There is a nice statue. There is a nice dictionary was available where Bhikshuk stay and do their spiritual activity. Diksha Bhumi is nice place to visit in Nagpur. It is one of the tourist attraction. It is nicely maintained and one should definitely visit this place. It is related to doctor Babasaheb Ambedkar. One who want to study ambedkars life should definitely visit this place.

Infrastructure is Very Nice. Historical and Beautiful Place. Huge Parking. The Photography is Prohibited Inside the Stupa. In front of the Stupa, there is a Buddha Vihara and a Tree Called Bodhi Tree. The Bodhi Tree is related to some sort of History Like This Tree was Planted Here From the Three Branches of Bodhi Tree at Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka. There is also a College Near the Bodhi Tree called B.R. Ambedkar College.

This place is named Deekshabhoomi because here Dr. B R Ambedkar renounced Hinduism and accepted Buddhism. The ashes of him also lie in this place. The big dome shaped structure, inside it lie vast spacious space where you can meditate and also chronological sequences of B R Ambedkars life in picture form. Outside the monument there is a huge ancient bodhi tree and you can enter the monument without shoes (for that a paid shoe storage facility is available inside the premises). Mobile phones should be turned off when you go inside the dome.Timings are 7am to 8pm all days.

Nagpur city provides limited sightseeing options and relatively Deekshabhumi Stupa is a decent place. Preferably visit in the evening or morning when its not too sunny. The place is spread over many acres but the main place to visit it the Stupa. You can peacefully sit inside the stupa and pray/meditate. There is a small exhibition inside the stupa which displays photographs of key events in life of Dr. Ambedkar. It close to the station and auto will charge 50-60 rs. from Sitabuldi market. There is shared auto option also available which will charge Rs. 20 per person.

Review №66

Although I visited Nagpur quite a few times I was not able to visit Dikshabhoomi despite I had the deepest urge. However, I got the chance this time to see this historical place having eminent relationship with the sculptor of Indian Constitution - Dr. Babasaheb Aambedkar.The place is well carved, aesthetically designed and most importantly is filled with positive energy. The structural design resembling Sanchi Stupa is mesmarizing. The 22 promises designed by Dr Aambedkar are carved on a larger than life marble. You enter inside the Stupa and you wont control your urge to bow in front of a great man who fought throughout his life to help the deprived.The photographic journey explaining the work, efforts, and struggle of Dr Babasaheb is excellent. Take a minute and witness the wooden replicas, they are simply beautiful. Dont forget to witness the Buddha statue which feels real and starting at the statue will make you feel Buddha is smiling at you.Ample parking space, BODHIWRUKSHA, idols of Buddha and Aambedkar outside take you to a different world.Overall, you will definitely find PEACE OF MIND at DIKSHABHOOMI.

A very peaceful and relaxing around in the hustle and bustle of city life . A proper spiritual place for meditation. Big stupa is really magnificent. Inside the stupa the atmosphere is like you are in heaven. So quite and amazing. A large parking lots and activity ground are there. A bodhi tree is beside of the temple. Spiritual lectures held there under the tree every day. A large Buddha statue is there. Dr. B r Ambedkar statue is outside the temple. And he came here to take renunciation of Buddhism. Out side the temple as usual toilets are available. Restroom facilities are available here for a bad weather. Huge parking lots. Located just beside the Dr B. R Ambedkar college. Viewed from normal traffic.
