Bengaluru's iconic Cubbon Park recently transformed into a vibrant tapestry of colours and fragrances, hosting the much-anticipated 'Flower Festival-2025'. For eleven consecutive days, the art and culture exhibition, organised by the Horticulture Department, became the city's prime attraction, drawing in crowds of nature enthusiasts, families, and photographers.
A Spectacle of Floral Art and Nature
The festival was a visual treat, featuring an impressive collection of over 100 varieties of flowers and plants. Visitors were mesmerized by the creative displays that blended horticultural skill with artistic vision. Among the most photographed installations was a breathtakingly detailed butterfly crafted entirely from flowers, its wings seemingly ready to flutter in the Bengaluru breeze.
The creativity did not stop there. Artisans showcased their talent by constructing life-sized elephants using leaves and flowers, creating a magnificent and eco-friendly spectacle that paid homage to both nature and culture. Throughout the event, the park was filled with the sounds of shutters clicking as people captured memories of the stunning floral arrangements.
High-Profile Visit and Public Engagement
The success and significance of the Flower Festival-2025 were underscored by a visit from Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh. Her presence highlighted the government's support for such cultural and environmental initiatives. The exhibition served as a perfect weekend getaway and a educational tour for many, offering a deep dive into the diversity of flora.
A Blooming Success for Bengaluru
The 11-day event concluded as a resounding success, reinforcing Bengaluru's reputation as a garden city. It provided a platform not just for displaying floral beauty but also for promoting art, culture, and environmental awareness. The Horticulture Department's meticulous organisation ensured that the festival was a seamless and enjoyable experience for all attendees, leaving them with lasting memories of a blossoming urban oasis.
