Rose Festival, Chandigarh - गुलाब समारोह - चंडीगढ़
|
Rose Festival is one of the prime events in Chandigarh. Chandigarh is a centre of commerce or various Botanical products and the Rose Garden is specially the most reputed for the exquisite varieties of Roses that are on exhibition. 30 acres of land is allotted for the Rose Garden and every year festivals are held at this place for the exhibition of the Roses that bloom in the garden of Chandigarh.
The idea of the Rose Festival was actually planned by M.S Randhwa thereby reflecting his interest in Horticulture and Gardening. Every year at the end of February and the beginning of March a festival is held there; it is also known as the Rose Festival and is visited by 20,000 people from across the country. Not only the Roe Festival but also the other festivals such as the Cultural Events are also held there.
So, pack up for the next gala event at Chandigarh and make sure to visit the Rose Carnival so that like Emerson you would say, "The roses under my window make no reference to former roses or better ones; they are what they are; they exist with God today. There is no time to them. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence." The biggest Rose Show in the country is held at the famous Rose Garden at Chandigarh. Varieties of magnificent roses are on display during this two-day festival.
The Festival of Gardens popularly known as Rose Festival is celebrated at Rose Garden in the month of February end or beginning of March. Initially called the Rose Festival it intended to encourage people to stroll through the Rose Garden and enjoy the sight of the blooms.
Each year the festival grew: now it includes performances of music and dance, both classical and folk, flower shows, events for children, exhibitions by local artists, photographers and craftsman and a wide range of amusements. Since 1997 it is known as the Festival of Gardens and is included on the national calendar of festivals. The city pulls out all the stops for this celebration, reminiscent of ancient India's Vasant Utsav in honor of spring.
