Ram Van

Rama Van in Rajkot is constructed on an area of 47 acres as an urban forest in Rajkot. The unique feature of this place is that it vividly depicts the 14-year exile period of Shri Ram.

“Ramvan” encompasses 47 acres of urban land with over 60,000 trees, representing approximately 55 different species. The forest is divided into two sections, each themed based on the Miyawaki method of afforestation. Various programs, including events like the reunion of Lord Rama and his brother Bharata, based on the Ramayana, are part of the landscape. A “Ram Setu” (bridge) has also been constructed, along with two adjacent lakes. The site features a food court, and a 30-foot tall statue of Lord Rama, along with his footprints during his exile, is present in Ramvan.

The project includes 22 sculptures depicting events based on Lord Rama’s life. A 25-foot tall statue of Lord Hanuman serves as a central attraction. Other notable features include a large sculpture of Lord Rama, the Jatayu Gate, the main entrance shaped like Lord Rama’s bow, a statue of Lord Hanuman bringing the Sanjeevani herb from the mountain, and a depiction of events related to Lord Rama’s 14 years of exile. After the completion of “Ramvan,” it is open to the public, featuring a Rashi Van (zodiac-themed forest) and a grand entrance gate with the shape of a bow and arrow. A 120-artistic-bench area is designed for people to sit and enjoy nature.
