Hi,
On Saturday, 21st February 2009 I visited the famous Mughal Gardens located in New Delhi in the premises of Rashtrapati Bhawan, the official residence of the President of India. The area covers 13 acres and the gardens combines mughal style with British garden designs. The gardens have excellent waterways with fountains. The garden was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. You can find over a hundred different species of roses, a wide variety of greens and a multitude of colourful flowers.
First I walked to the bio-diversity park. Here you can see some important medicinal and aromatic plants like Ashwagandh, Bergamot Mint, Ghritakumari, Isabgol, Pudina etc. depicting their use. I also saw ducks, pigeons, deer, peacocks etc.
Then it was the musical garden, which has fountains that dance to the Shehnai and Vandemataram. It was surrounded with lovely coloured Dahlias.
From there I reached the Mughal Gardens that were so large in size with very beautiful flowers like tulips, viscaria, lilies, bougainvillea creepers, roses, marigold, etc. There were a so many different types of roses like Paradise, Blue Moon, Queen Elizabeth, Iceberg, Christian Dior, Oklahoma (black rose) etc.
Then I walked to the Circular Garden also known as Butterfly Garden. Its a terraced bowl with fragrant varieties like Verbena, Dahlias, Jasmines all leaning in a circular shape. In the middle was a fountain pool.
I saw spiritual garden that has religious plants, trees like amla, harshingar, shikakai, tulsi, sita ashok, bael, etc. This was the last garden & then I moved to the exit.
It was a beautiful experience. I can still smell the scent of those lovely flowers.
Just for information entry & exit was from Gate No. 35 near North Avenue. No handbags, mobiles, cameras, water bottles etc were allowed inside the gardens.
