About Lalbagh Botanical Garden
A 240 acre garden laid out in the 1760s by Hyder Ali and expanded by Tipu Sultan and the British. The Glass House, modelled on the Crystal Palace in London, hosts the famous flower shows in the Republic Day and Independence Day weeks. The Lalbagh rock near the west gate is a three billion year old outcrop with a Kempegowda watch tower on top. Enter from any of the four gates; the lake and rock are best seen early in the morning.
