Apart from these, there are ‘Flower Carpets’ in magnificent designs on display in the Central Lawns. The dominant colour scheme of this year’s ornamental flowers is white, yellow, red and orange. A small cactus corner has also been landscaped along with some air purifying plants in the gardens.
Other attractions include Long garden, circular garden, Musical Garden and Herbal Garden with over 100 shrub varieties.
“The Mughal Gardens will remain open for the general public from February 12, 2022 to March 16, 2022 (except on Mondays, which are maintenance days) between 1000 hrs to 1700 hrs,” Deputy Press Secretary Keerti Tiwari said.
Visitors to the Gardens will be allowed only through advance online booking that can be made on https://rashtrapatisachivalaya.gov.in or https://rb.nic.in/rbvisit/visit_plan.aspx.
“Like previous year, this year too, walk-in entry will not be allowed too as precautionary measures are in place in view of the pandemic,” Tiwari said
