This weekend went out with one of my friend and a fellow photographer for a Photo walk.We started off quite early in the morning and selected lalbagh as our destination.We were expecting some joggers only in the park but when we went there we were greeted by a huge crowd.I guess bangaloreans have become too health conscious & the entire park was kind of crowded with people.

The Lalbagh Botanical Garden, Bangalore is of royal origin and was started initially as a private garden in an area of 40 acres by Hyder Ali, one of the most famous rulers of old Mysore in 1760. Initially designed in Mughal style, on the model of an extensive garden at Sira in Tumkur near Bangalore, this garden was further developed by Hyder Ali’s son Tipu Sultan and subsequently by the British and Indian doyens of horticulture by extension of area and addition of a number of plant species.

The park is always a treat to the eyes with lush green surroundings

This park also hosts a large lake which acts as waterbody to a lot of birds.

When we visited there were a few shops which displayed some clay art models .
