Lal Bagh :
Bangalore isn't called the Garden City of India for nothing. Trees, flowers, bushes and plants follow you wherever you go in Bangalore. The flower show at these gardens is a sight to behold! A plethora of colours welcome you into the greenhouse where the flowers and plants are arranged in striking patterns.
There is a lot more to be seen at the gardens, the lake, a sit-out on a hill-top and a fascinating nursery for all you folks out there with a green thumb (sic). |
 |
Lal Bagh is artistically landscaped with an eye for ordering nature's beauty without confining or stultifying it. It has expansive lush lawns, a profusion of flowerbeds, lotus pools and tinkling fountains |

9 March: Holi Festival !
Amongst India's innumerable festivals, Holi ranks as the most colourful. It celebrates the arrival of spring and death of demoness Holika, and is a celebration of joy and hope. Holi provides a refreshing respite from mundane norms as people from all walks of life enjoy themselves. In a tight-knit community, it also provides a good excuse for letting off some steam and settling old scores, without causing physical injury.
Holi continues to be celebrated with great vigour through out India. Countless Hindi films have brought the vibrant colours of the festival to the screen. Indians all over the world eagerly await the Festival of Colours, as bonfires are lit to banish the cold dark nights of winter and usher in warmer spring. Dhuleti, the day after Holi, is the actual festival of colours, when everything in sight is covered in a riot of hues. |
