Tour Of The LalBagh Gardens !

[Kris]

Hai friends

This tour,of that lovely lalbagh gardens was covered when i was in banglore last year for my wedding function.and though i had a very hectic schedule,since the function was to commence from that day evening...and my parents & relatives all frouned at me hearing that iam gon'a take my camera,my little brother & my cab driver to that garden which is situated in the heart of the city ! Beleive me even their,while i was taking stills i was getting reminder calls as to i must came back quickly ...Since all here know preety well that i forget what time iam in,when iam one with nature !

And a gentle reminder that visitors,must have a broadband connection to enjoy this thread fully...since i have not reduced the resolution much,since i did not want to compromise on clarity !

Hope you all enjoy this thread as much as i loved seeing those lalbagh gardens in person..

Thanks & Love,

Kris

Their is a small hill on top is a temple..

And on that day the state of karnataka was celeberating its cultural folk dance..so their were stalls & vendors selling lots of art handiworks made of wood & clay etc..

And stage was set up in the entrance of the garden,for the tribes & village artist to perform their skill...

And here is a better close up of that stage with my little brother standing near it...
