One of the best terrace gardens - Brindavan Gardens, Mysore

When you think of Mysore, Brindavan Gardens would automatically come into your mind. Brindavan Gardens, which is considered one of the most beautifully laid out terrace gardens globally, is Mysore’s pride. Located in the Mandya district at around 24 km from the city center, the garden is trendy due to its extraordinary beauty and grandeur.

It is basically a terrace garden laid out behind the Krishnaraja Sagar dam. The park, which is known for its symmetric design, extends over an area of 60 acres. It is laid out in three terraces. Varieties of ornamental plants are found on the slopes. The garden, which is visited by around 2 million people every year, has innumerable fountains decorated with colored lighting. The evenings are the best in Brindavan Gardens. The illuminated running waters and fountains with changing colors of lights are worth watching.

The musical fountain located on the northern side of the garden is a major attraction within the park during the evenings. There is a lake between the central garden and the musical fountain, with a boating facility.

The Department of Horticulture started the work of laying out this garden in 1927 CE. For many decades, it remains as one of the main attractions for school children across India.
