Blossom in the city... A true Floral Sculpture

A cloudy weather on a Sunday morning in Bangalore, a perfect weather to roam around the city, we planned to visit Lalbagh flower show which is a special floral exhibition organized by Govt of Karnataka for 2 special days, i.e. Independence day and Republic Day. They start one week in advance to attract more crowd.

We left our house around 11am Indian Standard Time, due to heavy traffic near the place, we preferred public transport then reached Lalbagh West Gate around 12.30 pm as we had to change 2 buses from my place. We saw a huge crowd in front of the gate, there were around 5-6 ticket counters for issuing the tickets made our day simple as we hardly stood in the queue to collect the tickets. The ticket was Rs.50 per head to enter the flower show, weekdays it was Rs.40 per head, the rate was reasonable. It was free for the school children.

We entered the gate, the park was filled with greenery and was crowed as expected. In the entrance we saw a green fountain, that made us feel relaxed, then we went inside, seeing colorful flowers on the side of the walking path and we saw the crowd capturing pictures of them and their loved ones.
