this
name).

the
younger
generation,
the
way
of
life
style
of
the

The

accommodate
the
flora
of

The

project
cost
is/
was
Rs.816
lakhs
Presently,
most
of
these
are
still
dreams

destroyed!!
There
are
few
items
still
usable
(Eg:
Mantapas),
partly
or
fully
damaged
in
many
parts
of
the
garden.
Still
it
is
worth
visiting
as
there
are
many
other
areas:
1. After
lady’s
seat,
then
Gent’s
seat
&
Childre’s
Seat
2. Large
Greenery
3. Rose
Garden
4. Children’s
Play
area
5. There
are
many
Family

together
areas
IMPORTANT:
Lot
of
scope
for
Selfies
and
day
&
Night
Photography.
Note:
as
of
Mar
18,
the
entrance
fee
was
Rs.30

for
all
the
above
areas.
