Vishwa Shanti stupa in Wardha district, Maharashtra, near Gitai Mandir, is a large stupa of white color. Statues of Buddha are mounted on stupa in four directions. It also has a small Japanese Buddhist temple with a large park. There is a temple near the stupa where prayers are done for universal peace. Opened in 1993,[1] it is one of around 80 Peace Pagodas which have been built around the world.[2] These were a dream of Fujii guruji, inspired by Gandhi, as a reaction to the atomic bombing of Japan, the first, and more well known Vishwa Shanti stupa, being built on Ratnagiri Hill in Rajgir.[3]
