Osho Teerth Park

In the centre of Koregaon Park in Pune lies a stretch of green which takes you to a different world. Osho Teerth Park, also known as Osho Garden, is an oasis of peace and quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle of all the restaurants and cafes Koregaon Park is famous for.

A stream of turquoise water flows through the garden forming tiny pools and ponds at regular intervals before flowing ahead. Tiny bridges made of wood and stones offer visitors the delight of hopping onto the other side of the water stream. Trees, both huge and small, provide a cool shade in the afternoon sun.  Storks and egrets waddle through the shallow stream, trying to catch the tiny fish making their way about in the water.

At one spot there is a folly, shaped like an ancient stone archway. The folly is covered in ivy, rendering it a fascinating look, quite in keeping with the surrounding aesthetic. Some trees have gigantic roots radiating outwards and spread out in all directions around the tree, like a protective circle.

Flat stones have been turned into makeshift steps to reach the water stream at many spots. There is also a tiny waterfall in the middle of a clearing. Pathways have been lined with stones for visitors. The huge trees provide a cool shade everywhere.

The entire park feels like a magical adventure. The gentle sound of the stream and the chirping of the birds lend the garden a peaceful charm. The entire aesthetic of the garden relaxes the mind and offers a refreshing experience.
