Lal Bagh Gardens - This 240 acre
expanse of greenery forms one of India's most beautiful botanical gardens.
The credit for this goes
to the rulers Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan, who laid out an 18th
century paradise with rare trees brought from far off Persia, Afghanistan
and France. At the heart of the gardens is situated the Glass House. Its
design was obviously inspired by the Crystal Palace, London. Flower shows
are held here in January and August and have an impressive participation. |
