Site Overview:There are five places in the
world where body relics of
Lord Buddha have been
found. One of them is Devni
Mori, Shamlaji , Gujarat,
India. Excavation of the
stupa brought to light an
inscribed casket which
contained relics of Buddha.
The inscription clearly
mentions that the casket
contains bodily relics of
Buddha. The site is
surrounded by a spectacular
and enchanting landscape of
hills and valleys. Close to it
is a Meshwo lake which
merges into the site of
Devnimori.
Future Expansion
Concept:The Concept of the Design is based on The Eight Cardinal Directions altogether superimposed on the
DHARMACHAKRA and the LOTUS, the two of the eight sacred symbols of Buddhism.
Taking this theme, every architecture and landscape detail of this project is designed accordingly.
INDIA
GUJARAT
DevniMori
The design includes the design of the central Stupa, gold and glistening. The stupa
will be 108m high and will be the main focus point of the project. The design and
staging of the components is based on the Triratna philosophy of the Buddhist
religion, viz. Yellow Gem (BUDDHA – Stupa), Red Gem (DHARMA – Chaitya) and the
Blue Gem (SANGHA – Vihara). Also a small sapling from the original Bodhi tree is
thought of to be planted in front of the main stupa, staring it to grow under a full
fledged Bodhi tree and enlighten anyone who meditates under it.
Riverfront development
VISION OF THE PROJECT
1. To create a useable and a beautiful space for The Tribal
opulation for their religious gathering.
2. To revive the importance of the 7th century Shamlaji School
Of Arts .
3. To attract tourism in this Historical town.
Reservoir development
1. The lake front is developed to commemorate the
submerged site of Devni mori and to retrieve the lost
character of the site in that Era.
2. The concept revolves around the Cosmic Mandala,
Eight Cardinal Directions, which symbolizes the
geography of the cosmos. Circles and squares were
added and a mandala came to represent the four
material elements of the universe - earth, water, fire,
wind
Ecotourism
Ecotourism is entirely a new approach in tourism. Ecotourism is a preserving travel to natural areas to
appreciate the cultural and natural history of the environment, taking care not to disturb the integrity of the
ecosystem, while creating economic opportunities that make conservation and protection of natural resources
advantageous to the local people.
