The Red Garden - Bangalore
The Lalbagh
Botanical garden is one of the many popular tourists’ spots in Bangalore.
Located in southern Bangalore, this vast expanse of natural beauty is a perfect
escape from the noise and traffic of the city.
I’ve been in
Bangalore for the last three years now and have visited the botanical gardens
almost 5 times since then. Since its one of the must see places in Bangalore, I
usually end up taking all visiting friends and family members to this place.

This time however I
made it a point to visit Lalbagh specifically to view the 199th Annual Republic
Day flower show.

I had never seen
anything like this before… I assumed it would be a usual flower show but to my
surprise there were 1000 plus colorful flowers for display and for sale. The
organizers put up something every unusual - a display of roof plantation made
of vegetables not flowers !!!
The glass house as
always was the main attraction. Colorful exhibits were displayed everywhere for
people to view. Vegetable statues made out of flowers - hahaha how unusual, a coconut made of green
leafs.., a banana out of yellow flowers…Truly amazing.

| Reminded me of all those Yash Raj Movies |
The Nikon D5100 had
many other competitors at the flower show but one great feature which the
tourister (which is me ;)) tired was the shutter speed aka burst mode. The
special performance of the day.
