According to the park management, the park features Swami Anand Arun's statue as well as his bust on a funeral pyre as a witness of his own dead body. 


The concept of the park is to inspire mediators to contemplate and remember death and meditate upon it. After the park's inauguration, Swami Anand said that the park will help visitors to accept death as a natural phenomenon. 


“Death has negative connotation. People are generally scared of death. I hope this park can help people accept death naturally,” he said.
