Noida's Annual Flower Show Unveils Spectacular Floral Kedarnath Temple Replica
The 38th annual flower show, organized by the horticulture department of the Noida Authority, has commenced with its most breathtaking attraction yet: a grand and intricately designed floral model of the revered Kedarnath Temple. This stunning creation, crafted entirely from flowers, offers a spiritual and artistic experience for visitors who have not yet visited the actual temple in Uttarakhand.
A 15-Acre Floral Extravaganza in Noida
Spread across more than 15 acres at the Shivalik Helipad Ground in Sector 33A, adjacent to Noida Haat, the exhibition features approximately 120 varieties of flowers and plants. The venue transforms into a vibrant display of seasonal blooms and curated plant arrangements, creating a sensory feast of color and fragrance. Officials anticipate that the event will attract hundreds of thousands of visitors over its four-day duration, with crowds expected from Noida and neighboring cities including Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, and Delhi.
Artistic Creation and Spiritual Theme
According to Anand Mohan Singh, deputy director (horticulture) at the Noida Authority, nearly 80 artists from Bengaluru dedicated over 10 to 15 days to bring the Kedarnath replica to life. This year's show centers on the famous shrine, seamlessly blending spirituality with horticultural artistry. The floral model serves as the headline attraction, symbolizing a unique fusion of devotion and creative expression.
Diverse Attractions and Environmental Message
Beyond the Kedarnath replica, the flower show offers a wide array of attractions. These include artistic floral installations, decorative garden layouts, a garden competition for institutions, industries, and private residences, on-the-spot landscaping demonstrations, food stalls, and dedicated activity zones for children. The exhibition also promotes environmental awareness and urban greenery, reflecting Noida's diverse and growing population.
Why This Event Is a Must-Visit
This is not merely a flower exhibition; it is a visual spectacle and an ideal weekend plan. Families can enjoy leisurely strolls through themed gardens, couples can capture memorable photos against the floral Kedarnath backdrop, and photographers can find unique frames. Perhaps the most appealing aspect is that entry is completely free, making it accessible to all.
