Osho Teerth Park

Osho Teerth Park is a 12-acre public urban garden located in Koregaon Park, Pune, developed from a former wasteland and open drainage channel. Created between 1990 and 1991 by the Osho Ashram in collaboration with Japanese landscape designers, it features Zen-inspired landscaping with ponds, stone pathways, bridges, and meditation corners. The park serves as an ecological restoration model and offers a quiet green space distinct from the adjacent Osho International Meditation Resort.

Visitors can expect a serene, landscaped environment designed for quiet walking and reflection rather than active recreation. The park features stone pathways, small bridges, four ponds, shaded seating areas, and Buddha statues set within dense vegetation. It operates on split morning and evening hours and is generally free to enter as a public space. The atmosphere is calm and meditative, suitable for short visits, light photography, and sitting quietly near water features.

The park was developed between May 1990 and September 1991 after the Osho Ashram leased the land from Pune Municipal Corporation in 1989. Japanese landscape artist Nihar and the Shunyo Foundation transformed a barren wasteland with a polluted stream carrying 500 gallons per minute into a restored ecosystem using natural water treatment, soil importation of nearly 50,000 truckloads, and reforestation.

The park embodies Osho's philosophy of ecological balance and meditation, serving as a model for community-based urban environmental restoration. It demonstrates the integration of spiritual values with practical ecology, addressing water regeneration, reforestation, and social education while providing a public space for contemplation.
