LALBAGH WALK |
Rolling out the red carpet: An unhurried walk through the park's green history
Walk with us to discover the treasure that is Lalbagh, as we take you over the rock, trees and waters of Lalbagh, once a Sultan's pleasure paradise!
Commissioned by Hyder Ali and completed by Tipu Sultan, Lalbagh was the ruler's personal garden, a statement of power and extravagance. Home to one of the medieval watch towers, Lalbagh has since acquired a large range of horticultural samples, a beautiful glass house and India's first lawn-clock. Today, it is not just a botanical garden but is also one of the few green spaces left in the increasingly busy metropolitan Bengaluru.
Join us as we step into pockets of silence and bloom right within the corporate jungle that is Bangalore. Listen to stories from the past, myths associated with the park and personal anecdotes that help understand Lalbagh better.
