My Visit to Lalbagh Garden in Bangalore last year in 2016 during 'Annual Flower Show' : (Descriptive Write-up about my visit to the show & the blissful experiences, below the Pictures)
Here is a small glimpse of my visit in to this beautiful Annual Flower-Show of the Cyber-City of Bangalore. This mesmerizing show draws thousands of visitors every year, from around this vast, expansive, colourful country of India, to get themselves immersed in its 'one-of-its-kind' beauty :
No wonder they say Bangalore is a city of beautiful, evergreen gardens. Lalbagh Garden is the heavenly garden of 'Nandanavanam' of our Hindu Mythologies, of this Planet-Earth ; at least during regular 'Annual Flower-Shows'. The show draws visitors from all over India during this beautiful event, every year.
Most part of Bangalore is barren today, with nothing but just cement, concrete, smoke, fume, skyscrapers, MNCs & Global IT Companies, & with series of jampacked roads with dicy potholes to brag about.

My husband Shekhar has extremely pleasant memories about his visits to
Bangalore, during school holidays in childhood, when his father, who was in the
Telephones then, was posted here, as one of the many-many postings in his transferrable job all over India.
Shekhar very fondly remembers that old Bangalore was simply lush green and unusually colourful, and extremely soothing to the starving , exhausted eyes. 'Fresh green vegetables, at throw away prices, were also plenty then in this sleeping city, the 'Retired Pensioners' Paradise' of those days", my mom-in-law too used to vividly remember, during her occassional visits to my place.
Had been to Lalbagh Garden during last spring with my husband Shekhar, when one day he suddenly mentioned about the 'Annual Flower-Show' at the venue, looking at an Ad in the daily newspaper he was reading just then.
Never knew the 'Annual Flower-Show' at Lalbagh Garden in the jam packed Cyber-City of Bangalore, would be so beautiful, and so intoxicating !!!
Had many a times heard of the most popular 'Ooty-Flower-Shows' in the Niligiris in Tamilnadu.
Had heard of the transcendental, heavenly beauty of 'Hemkund Valley of Flowers' in the astral-world like regions of Garhwal Himalayas.
Never knew, we have something so beautiful, so mesmerizing, so hypnotizing, so intoxicating, so close to our home, so close to our very home in Bangalore, and so close to our heart & soul. It was not even an half-an-hour drive by car from our serene, tranquil residence in Terrace Garden of Ittamadu.
This one-of-its-kind flower-show at Lalbagh Gardens, is a must visit for everyone, at least once in one's lifetime, whether we are based in India, or some remote corner in a foreign destination, abroad, or in any planet, or in any solar system, or in any Milkyway, or in any constellation. The show was amazingly beautiful, and I became a static statue, immersed in the beauty of the exotic flowers.
Was unforgettably amazed at the utmost dedication of the Horticulture Department of Lalbagh Garden. Government employees too are so dedicated, & so passionate about their profession, contrary to the extremely wrong impression people generally have about their sincerity, dedication, diligence and quality of work. Every single one of them had green fingers, nothing but just green and only green.
Wanted to take hundreds of photos in the beautiful show, but was madly exhausted, clicking my readily available, handy Smartphone Camera thousand and one times if not more, capturing pictures in all imaginable & unimaginable directions.
Wish I could be smarter and more efficient. I could have then captured even trillions of pictures, even not more. My terribly exhausted, tender fingers started acheing badly, and I had to stop my photographic activities, then & there, to keep my greediness under check at least after grabbing so much.
The never ending series of pictures posted above, is just a small glimpse of this mesmerizing flower-show. But I think this much is enough, just enough, to prove the amazing beauty of the show and attract crazy flower lovers from all over India.
