Like every year, this time also 5 to 6 lakh people are expected to come.
It was opened to the public for the first time by the first President of the country, Dr. Rajendra Prasad. Here one can get a glimpse of both the British and Mughal Gardens. It was designed by the architect Edwin Lutyens who built the Rashtrapati Bhavan.

QR codes will be installed near all the plants. If anyone scans it, he will get all the information related to the plant. Along with this, 20 professionals will be deployed, who will give information about the garden to the people.
