Winged visitors grace Sanjeevaiah Park

Sanjeevaiah Park has hordes of visitors -- love birds, feathered birds, gawking boys and vendors. But, of late, a small garden has been attracting swarms of butterflies. An amazing variety of butterflies have made their home in a one-acre land cleared out by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) last month.

The site, which was hitherto occupied by garbage, now has a colourful range of shrubs, creepers and trees with flowers and dancing on them incessantly in their brilliant hues are the butterflies. “The butterflies started as soon the flowering began. We have counted 20-25 varieties of butterflies and expect the count to touch forty,” said an official.
