Initially, the landscape was established as a pond for irrigation purposes, which had a self-regenerating water source. It progressively developed with the addition of a Shivalinga statue at the center of the pond, with unpaved circulation walkways all around it. This area has been used both as a religious worshipping place and as a social space for ManavSewa Ashram and the surrounding communities.
The concept of the landscape has evolved from the initial days of development to the establishment of ManavSewa Ashram. It has now become a landscape that provides a meditative environment rooted in natural biodiversity, with spaces for rejuvenation, knowledge exchange, ideas, and healthier lifestyle adaptation, all around the pond. This progressive ripple around the pond has been the core concept of the project's design and planning. The landscape is distributed all around the pond in specified zones. The eastern perimeter has a dense vegetation of native species, with the landscape evoking calm and contemplative walkways, accompanied by semi-open pavilions, a multi-purpose open-air theater, resting spots, and a multi-use meditation hall. The western perimeter comprises semi-open pavilions, a souvenir and story gallery relating to ManavSewa Ashram, a mini-scale public library for all demographics, where one can learn and share knowledge on humanity, healthier and holistic living, ethnic culture, biodiversity, and much more. There is also a vegan cafeteria for the public to visit the park, and a public restroom for the park, which complies with universal design standards, providing safe and comfortable toilets and other sanitary facilities for all individuals. The central part of the pond has been designed to have a Jaldhara sculpture, accompanying the pre-existing Shivalinga, which is accessible by the bridges on either side.
Natural building practices have been incorporated into the design through the use of rammed earth, as Hetauda, the project location, has an abundance of good quality building materials like stone and earth, which have been primarily used. This promotes sustainable, natural building practices and is the first of its kind in the Hetauda region, which will ultimately attract the public and raise awareness about natural building solutions in Nepal.
The landscape offers a variety of experiences, ranging from learning about native species to attending open-air free speech and interactive workshops on various subjects, to simply taking a break and enjoying the natural setting, far from the city center. Visitors can learn about the stories of ManavSewa Ashram and experience a dynamic landscape offering both joyful and meditative atmospheres, all around the static composure of water. At the end of their visit, they will feel rejuvenated and content, rather than tired.
