Flower show, a brilliant work of art

A Bangalorean visits the Lalbagh Flower show and finds much joy and photo ops.

I would like to share my joy and happiness on visiting the Lalbagh Flower Show organised by the Horticultural Department of Government of Karnataka.

Every year, they focus on a theme – this year the idea was to celebrate Republic Day and the 150th Birth Anniversary of Swami Vivekananda. The department has put in a great deal of hard work in the excellent arrangement of flowers, vegetables and potted plants.

The show was inaugurated on January 18th and is open till January 28th.

Feel free to share the pictures with your friends and relatives so that everybody enjoys the beauty of Mother Nature seen at Bangalore twice a year.

This year, there is a parking problem as no vehicles can enter the garden area. Visitors have to park their vehicles elsewhere and walk to the venue. Despite this, the visit is worth as such flower arrangements are rare. Congratulations to the Horticultural Department team for such a fantastic show.⊕

Reviving the Cooum: Need for innovation, enforcement and shared responsibility

by , , , , , , and December 4, 2025 Environment
An analysis reveals how this Chennai river is affected by sewage dumping, encroachment of buffer zones and unchecked urban growth.

The Cooum River, once a sacred river that shaped the history of Madras, has now become a sad sign of urban degradation. For the millions of residents in Chennai, it has transformed into a malodorous, polluted, and stagnant channel, burdened with solid waste accumulation and extensive encroachments along its banks. During a recent datajam organised by Oorvani Foundation and OpenCity, we used Geographical Information System (GIS) datasets and population analytics to investigate the underlying causes contributing to this crisis. The results show that rapid urbanisation, inadequate provision of essential civic infrastructure, and the absence of coherent policy frameworks, along with…

Pallikaranai at a crossroads: Expert warns of irreversible damage to Chennai’s last great marshland

by November 25, 2025 Environment
In an interview, naturalist Deepak V says the government must publish ecological maps marking wetlands and waterbodies to boost public awareness.

The Pallikaranai Marshland, one of Chennai’s last remaining natural wetlands, has long been a site of ecological tension. Its designation as a Ramsar site brought national and international recognition, along with renewed expectations for strong conservation measures. Yet the marshland continues to face intense pressure from urban development, infrastructure projects and real estate expansion.  Recently, Arappor Iyakkam, an anti-corruption organisation, alleged that state agencies illegally cleared environmental and construction approvals for a large high-value housing project within the Ramsar boundary. As the matter unfolds, it reveals how regulatory gaps and political inaction make the marsh vulnerable. Meanwhile, residents of Tansi…
