Yes, it is time to experience the Joy of the 217th Lalbagh Flower Show Live—do not miss it.

 

The Lalbagh Flower Show is a celebration of artistry, culture, and nature’s beauty that has captivated generations. With a history spanning over a century, this biannual event—held during Republic Day and Independence Day—is a testament to Bengaluru’s rich horticultural heritage. Originally inspired by the Great Spring Show of England, the Lalbagh Flower Show has evolved into one of the most anticipated events in the city’s calendar, attracting thousands of visitors from across the globe.

Hosted at the historic Lalbagh Botanical Garden, which dates back over 200 years to the time of Hyder Ali, the event brings together diverse floral displays, artistic arrangements, and cultural themes. 

Over the years, the show has become a platform to showcase innovative gardening techniques, exotic plants, and themed floral sculptures that tell stories of Indian history and mythology. 

This year’s theme, centered around Maharshi Valmiki, promises to enthrall visitors with its intricate designs and meaningful narratives.




217th Edition Lalbagh Flower Show: 4 Experiences You Can’t Get on Screen

2. Instagram-Worthy Photo Opportunities Everywhere

217th Edition Lalbagh Flower Show: Why Only Being There Does It Justice

 

Disclaimer: These are my personal thoughts only.

The only Joy is ‘World Safe ePay Day’,  and

 ‘World Blouse Day’.

 

Safe and Stylish: Unveiling World SafeePay and Blouse Day Delights

 

The need for observing World SafeePay Day and World Blouse Day arises from the absence of dedicated global celebrations for these concepts.

 

World SafeePay Day aims to celebrate the joy of safe electronic payments in all financial transactions, representing an abstract celebration that highlights the significance of secure and efficient digital financial interactions. As the world increasingly relies on electronic payment systems, having a designated day for SafeePay emphasizes the importance of secure and reliable digital financial transactions.

 

On the other hand, World Blouse Day seeks to celebrate the joys of wearing blouses in a more lively and visually impactful manner. The concept involves a powerful display of togetherness, with millions of people stepping out wearing blouses based on a chosen theme. This display celebration not only promotes a sense of unity but also serves as a unique and creative expression of shared identity through clothing.

Wanted Digital Banking Partner for 100 year old Lalbagh Flower Festival


The LALBAGH FLOWER FESTIVAL is one of Bangalore’s highlight and is eagerly awaited by a large number of followers. Over 200 editions of LALBAGH FLOWER FESTIVAL have been over so far. Every half-year a new unique theme is chosen and show-cased to Bangalorean’s.  The event not only attracts Bangalorean’s, but also visitors from nearby districts.

          The main flower display is in the Glass Garden and is a photographer’s delight. Families jostle each other for the best shot. The best photos are immediately shared via Facebook, Instagram and other photo sharing apps.

          In a year, Lalbagh hosts two flower shows. The first one is in January during the Republic Day week and the second one in August during the Independence Day week.

          The seeds of the LALBAGH FLOWER FESTIVAL were sown in 1912 with the first edition kicked off, when G.H. Krumbeigel took over as superintendent of Lalbagh.

          Every flower show over the last 100 years has a unique theme. The themes have ranged from  Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower and the Namma Metro, Royal Mysore Palace, Mysore Dasara procession, Fort and Statue of Liberty, Bangalore Palace, Buddha Stupa  all  portrayed in flora.
Another unique feature about  LALBAGH FLOWER FESTIVAL is that it is  the only one flower show in the country that displays potted plants

The Glass House which houses the main theme replica is  modelled along London’s Crystal Palace.

          The preparations for the next edition of LalBagh flower show begin as soon as the current edition gets over.

          The main decision is on the edition’s theme. Once the theme is finalised, the preparations kickoff. As the show is spread over 10 days, the flowers should be fresh throughout this period.

          The theme is made public two weeks before the official inauguration to build up interest in the flower show.

          On an average, 5 lac visitors throng the flower show, with the maximum rush on the weekends.
