ಲಾಲ್ ಬಾಗ್ - Lal Bagh Botanical Gardens
Lal Bagh houses India's largest collection of tropical plants, has an aquarium and a lake, and is one of the main tourist attractions in Bengaluru.
The garden was originally commissioned by Hyder Ali in 1760, the ruler of Mysore, and later finished by his son Tipu Sultan. It has a famous glass house which hosts an annual flower show.
Lal Bagh is a 240-acre (971,000 sq.m. - almost 1 km.) garden and is located in south Bangalore. It holds a number of flower shows, especially on the Republic Day (26 January). The garden has over 1,000 species of flora. The garden also has trees that are over 100 years old.
The Lal Bagh Gardens are based on the design of the Mughal Gardens that once stood at Sira, at a distance of 120 km from Bengaluru on the main NH4 at Tumkur District in Karnataka.
“On Friday 20 Jan 2012 , Lalbagh is celebrating 100 years of flower show, so we all had been to the flower show.
