I developed a special feeling for
flowers after I visited the Mughal Gardens in Delhi this year. The bright sunny
weather played a perfect host and did not mundane my day with the occasional rain
that had been disturbing the capital city since the last few days.
Colorful, picturesque and
splendid; these are the adjectives that describe the flowers in the Mughal
Gardens at New Delhi. Red, orange, yellow and white were the colors that ruled
the Udyanotsav. I could not have found out a better weekend stress buster other
than visiting this sporadic place. I was totally elated by the sheer beauty of
the flora at the 15 acre Mughal Gardens.
Every year, the month long flower fair is held
where flower lovers and other people visit in large numbers and this year was
not an exception. As per the media reports, the number of visitors crossed 2.86
lakhs in just a span of two weeks. The continuous gathering of people was a
reassurance in the fact that beauty of flowers can certainly supersede the
beauty of anything in the world.
The constant announcement of the security
officials to avoid using of cameras inside the flower fair, first of all broke
my hopes, but later I managed to get some clicks after talking with them. So, I
began my flower tour at the Mughal gardens by entering a lawn which had flowers
on both sides arranged in a beautiful manner. Brahmi, Isangol, Geranium, Fenugrek
and many herbal plants were put on display with a small board placed next to
them, which said about the properties and uses of each plant.
I proceeded towards the Bonsai
Garden. There were 80 varieties of Cactus flowers that bloomed here such as Marigold,
Dahlia, Gerbera, Calendula and Linaria. Rose
Queen Elizabeth was a flower which attracted my attention here, though the name
was Rose, but the appearance of this flora did not compliment it’s name. However,
I found it quite visually attractive. Take a look at the flower below
Moving on, I came across a flower
mat which was made from Krishna Genda flower and tulip. Words would fall short
to describe it, hence I have put the picture for you to enjoy its sheer beauty.
My next stop was at the Circular
Garden. As the name suggests, this garden is circular in shape and is dotted
with different kinds of seasonal flowers like Marigold Stock, Viola, Clarkia,
Allisum and Sweet Willium. Walking through the kind I felt as if I am a Royal
Prince and is welcomed by a group of flowers. Really, the feeling was excellent.
Thus, the day finally ended in a
flowery mood.
