 park, garden, botanical garden
Lal Bagh Botanical Garden is a well known botanical garden in Bangalore, India. The garden was commissioned by the ruler of Mysore, Hyder Ali. The garden has over 1,000 species of flora. The Glass House, modeled on London's Crystal Palace (now re-modelled with a different layout), is the center of attraction. Hyder Ali laid out these famous botanical gardens and his son added horticultural wealth to them by importing trees and plants from several countries. The Lalbagh Gardens were commissioned by the 18th century and over the years it acquired India's first lawn-clock and the subcontinent's largest collection of rare plants. The garden also has trees that are over 100 years old.

The gates are open from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., when entry is free. Entry for school children and the disabled is free all day.

    Our sundays start here with a early morning jog. The sprint, the caressing cool breeze, the dripping sweat, the run to the hill top, the lake and its birds, all add to the excitement. Lalbagh rocks.

    The area of Lalbagh is correct.But this is not marked on the map. Instead the title'Mavalli' appears right in the middle of the area. This is incorrect. Mavalli is the residential area to North-west of Lalbagh. I am cofident of what I have said as I am a resident of Bangalore since my birth in 1949.this needs correction.
