A visit to Mughal Garden, Rashtrapati Bhavan @ Delhi

It was a month of February 2019, on Wednesday morning, I was having bites of puri sabzi (a routine breakfast in North India) in my balcony, having a glance of clear sky, enjoying the combination of good weather and beautiful cloudy sky. Suddenly I heard a beep sound of my mobile. When I checked my mobile for message, it was a pleasant surprise as my friend had texted me a message on whats app group asking about a visit to Mughal Garden. Though I have been living in Delhi for many years, I never could visit these wonderful places. So I just got up and became ready to go for a walk to remember. Whenever after watching mobile phone I went outside the house, my mother used to give a suspicious and angry look as if I was going to marry some girl against her wish. Being the youngest in the family I was scolded by all elders for no reason.

I was always a latecomer in my group. My friends were, as usual, waiting for me at Janakpuri with irritated faces. I had no option but to greet them with my innocent smile. From there we had to reach Central Secretariat metro station. From Central Secretariat, we walked along the Rajpath discussing all current political, sports-related news to reach Mughal Garden. Discussion on political affairs while walking makes it easy to make the feet forget the pain and save the auto fare.

Finally, we arrived at Mughal Garden. For a moment I felt so still when got a live glimpse of beautiful smiling flowers from so many diverse breeds. Despite being a weekday many people had come to visit Mughal Garden, located in Rashtrapati Bhavan. It opens for the visitors only for one month, generally from February to March. It's the time when the severe cold season of Delhi takes rest and Spring Season comes on the stage.

Mughal Garden was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the British architect who had designed Delhi. He blended the Mughal style and the English flower system. The garden takes pride in growing 159 celebrated varieties of Rose and 60 varieties of bougainvillaeas along with a number of other flowers. It is rightly called the paradise of flowers.

After staying there for two hours, there was huge satisfaction in our minds as we enjoyed the company of the rich and rare horticulture tradition of Mughal Garden.
