New Delhi: The splendour and magnificence of the Mughal Gardens at Rahstrapati Bhavan will be opened to public on Friday for over a month, an official statement said on Tuesday.

The concept of floral carpets, introduced for the first time, will accompany the 200 new bonsai plants.

"The Udyanotsav shall remain closed on every Monday, during this period on account of maintenance activities. It shall also remain closed on Feb 15 for a programme at Rashtrapati Bhavan," the statement said. "It shall also remain closed on March 8 on Holi festival," it added.
