In news– Ayodhya’s Ram Katha Park is to be renamed as Queen Heo Hwang-ok memorial park.

About the memorial park-

    • The memorial space located on the banks of the Sarayu in Ayodhya (U.P) has been named after a Korean queen with Indian roots.
    • The legend of Queen Heo is inscribed on the stone memorial in Korean and English.
    • The monument was built in Korean traditional style, using a 3m high and 7,500 kg heavy stone shipped from Korea.
    • The park which surrounds the memorial is colloquially called “Korea Park”.
    • The memorial now comprises Queen and King pavilions with their busts in place, and a pond to represent Princess Suriratna’s journey. 
    • According to the legend, the princess had taken a golden egg to Korea, and the park includes an egg made of granite.
    • The Mayors of the City of “Ayodhya” in India and the City of “Gimhae” in South Korea had signed an International “Sister City” bond in March 2001 to formalise the relationship and encourage cultural and mutual development.
    • In March 2016, a 38-member South Korean delegation made a proposal to develop the memorial further.
