A replica of under construction Sri Ram Mandir at Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh made in flowers of different hues is attracting tourists.
Flower show is a part of tourism promotion activities in Mysuru. But due to Covid crises, winter festival and its major attraction flower show was cancelled previous year. However this time the district administration and Mysore Palace Board decided to organise the annual event with Covid norms.
Varieties of flowers, majorly four lakh roses, 15,000 plants and many more are used to give different shapes of floral made sculptures by the artisans recognised by Horticulture department.
While the replica of Ram Mandir stands as a major attraction, the other attractions include that of Sri Chamundeshwari, monolithic Nandi statue, erstwhile Maharaja Sri Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar and actor Puneeth Rajkumar and CDS Bipin Rawat who was martyred in helicopter crash at Coonoor near Nilgiris in Tamil Nadu recently.
