Ramesh moved to Blore almost 4yrs ago..Lalbagh main gate is just 3/4 kms from our place. And we pass through lalbagh main gate many times. Still we never went to Lalbagh.
True we dint have a reason to go Lalbagh. As most of bangaloreans would know, its turned into more of a Lover's park than, a botanical garden. (But we cannot deny it has a good count of people who go there for jogging ONLY early mornings). Well, as usual there was flower show arranged for Independence day. And this time, i insisted that we go...

We dint want to go on August 15th, as it would be much crowded. We decided to go next weekend...Flowershows are arranged for almost 3 weeks. 1 week before and after of Independence day, and republic day every year. This year's theme was India gate..
Did you know that Lalbagh the Red garden, was originally commissioned by Hyder ali, the ruler of Mysore, and later finished by his son Tipu sultan... Lalbagh is spread over 240 acres and has 4 gates, West,east, north, and south.. Each gates leads you to different areas altogether.. We had two good hours watching rare and colurful flowers and enjoy its beauty. If you Love flowers, and you are in Blore, dont miss this Annual flower show. Next show is on January 26th 2012....
