BASANTOTSAV 2012
FESTIVAL OF FLOWERS
“RAJ BHAVAN” DEHRADUN 3-4.03.2012
The annual Basantotsav was inaugurated by the Governor Margaret Alva and Chief Minister B C Khanduri on 03.03.2012 at the Raj Bhawan, Dehradun.
Exquisite flowers were on display and this was a treat for the visitors.
A walk through the Raj Bahavan gardens where the flower show is organized is like walking through heaven.
A maze of colourful flowers – Gerbera, Carnations, Gladiolus, Marigold, Lily, Roses, Dahlia, Antirrhinum, Larkspur, and a number of imported flowers as well as those from the forests of Uttarakhand were on display. Fresh Petal Rangoli stole the day. A large number of Amateur Photographs were also on display.
A visit to the “Bonsai Garden” created a sense of awe and feeling of what an artist can create from nature – a living miniature garden.
