On working days, the entrance cost to
the venue is Rs 70 for adults and Rs 20 for kids. The prior holiday cost of Rs
80 has now been cut to Rs 75.
Whereas, Students showing up wearing their
school uniforms are allowed inside the vicinity for free.
Visitors have to buy the entrance
tickets at the ticket counters set up at Lalbagh’s 4 gates.
As per news paper reports, visitors
can buy the tickets via the online mode too.
However, I have not able to locate the
online link to buy the tickets.
The preferred mode to buy the tickets is
the hard physical cash. The digital payment option is not yet visible. Maybe the
digital payment option is available at few ticket counters only.
So, carry lots of physical cash, for a
stress-free visit.
On Friday (05/08/2022), Karnataka chief
minister Basavaraj Bommai inaugurated the Lalbagh Botanical Garden's
Independence Day flower show. The flower show is back in town after a two-year
break due to the Covid-19 outbreak. It has been themed after father-son duo
Kannada film stars Dr Rajkumar and Puneeth Rajkumar.
After four flower show being cancelled in a
row, the 212th annual LalBagh flower show will be held between August 5 and 15.
The show, which is themed on Kannada
matinee idol Dr Rajkumar and his son Puneeth Rajkumar is being held at the cost
of Rs 2.5 crore.
Karnataka’s Horticulture Minister Muniratna
Naidu told reporters on Wednesday (03/08/2022), “The show will be held from
August 5 to August 15 and the ticket rates are priced between Rs 70 on weekdays
and Rs 75 on weekends.
The flower show gets organised twice every
year, for Republic Day and Independence Day by the Horticulture Department
along with Mysore Horticulture Society.
The botanical garden is enriched with
numerous native and exotic flora of wide ranging diversity, by way of
introduction, acclimatization and multiplication from various parts of the
world since its inception in 1760.
Today, 2150 species of plants belonging to
673 genera and 140 families can be seen in Lalbagh. The collection of such
diverse types of plant wealth has made Lalbagh, a veritable treasure house of
plants.
The three mango trees in the garden said to
have been existent for the last 250 years, perhaps since the time of Hyder Ali
and Tipu Sultan are located near the fernery. These trees have withstood the
vagaries of nature and still bear fruits.
