Lalbagh Botanical Garden

The Lalbagh Botanical Garden in Bengaluru is the city's oldest and largest green lung - a place that replenishes the crowded IT hub with fresh air. Close to the garden's main gate is an ancient rock topped by a tower built by the King Kempe Gowda centuries ago, to mark what he expected to be the limit of Bengaluru.

They come by the thousands every day. For the people of Bengaluru, going to the January flower show at the Lalbagh Botanical Gardens is an annual ritual some would never miss. And the crowds who make their way to the here are only increasing.
