Karnataka Minister for Large and Medium Industries MB Patil on Tuesday paid a visit to the well-known display and shared pictures of the diverse flora and art in exhibition.
“As part of this year's Republic Day, the fruit flower show organized at Lal Bagh in Bangalore is organized under the idea of ​​Anubhava Mantapa, Vachana Sahitya, and I am sharing with you the memorable moments of visiting here,” The minister wrote, sharing visuals of the colourful show inside Lalbagh Botanical Garden's Glass House.The Anubhava Mantapa is a forum of experiences, which was used by Basavanna for religious and spiritual discourses with his peers and disciples. The Horticulture department in Karnataka organises flower shows in the botanical garden bi-annually - for both Republic Day and Independence Day - which receives heavy footfall.
Authorities from the department had organised around three lakh potted plants in the first week of November, procuring several types of flowering plants from Darjeeling and Ooty. Around five lakh cut roses and three lakh cut chrysanthemum flowers were used to make the main theme.
