Visited the show on Sunday noon (22nd), on that day it recorded a whopping 100,000 visitors, making it difficult to capture the rich colors at the show. I could somehow manage to get a few colorful pics.
It was more beautiful and creative than the previous flower shows held here.
Entered the Glasshouse and was stunned to see the beautiful Buddha Stupa, it was 30 foot tall made out of 4,00,000 flowers which includes Roses, Carnations, Orchids and foliages.

One more which was found all over the flower show was the Peacock feather.
Apart from Flowers, there were Fruits and Vegitables also exhibited.
Red Cabbage
Out of the Glass house and could see dozens of shops through the curve towards sidhapur gate. One could shop for bags, artificial flowers, chats, art works, decorative items, and households.
Going further towards sidhapur gate one can see big line of shops on both sides where u can shop for plants, seeds, pots and gardening materials. Further on the right are row of shops where you can purchase indoor plants, flowers and Bonsai plants. You can find the fresh and healthy plants over here. I would suggest one of the best place to buy plants. We managed to get at-least a dozen of them. Further you can find shops with artistic clay and decorative items.
 Going back near to the exit are some refreshments, Not so hygenic but managable. Drinking water and chats are available all through the park. The popular chat over there is ofcourse the spicy corn.
It was dark while leaving and was chearful to see all the lights lit on the trees including the glass house.

Hampi - III : Vitthala Temple

Vitthala Temple: Hampi - III This is the most important among the ruins of Hampi for its art and architecture.   Though the temple complex was attacked by the Muslim invaders, it still stands as the most beautiful monument of Hampi, leaving behind us to only imagine the grandeur of the temple complex during the reign of Vijayanagara Kingdom. It is strategically located on the right bank of the river Tungabhadra facing Anegundi town on the other side of the river. Connecting these two was an ancient bridge, which has only the pillars remaining out of the ruins. This probably was planned to be at the middle of the old capital Anegundi and new capital Hampi. This temple is dedicated to Vitthala, a form of lord Vishnu. A Ruined city at the Vitthala temple complex Design of the temple complex: The Vittala temple complex is having a high enclosure with three gateway towers or Gopuras, the main tower facing the east, the smaller ones on to the north and south.

The canal district of Amsterdam - I

The canal district of Amsterdam I was on a short visit to the Netherlands, and was never less to explore the cities of Netherlands. Amsterdam being the most Bike Friendly City in the World, and with its UNESCO world heritage canals and the Traditional Dutch buildings around these, along with its colorful nightlife makes it an ideal destination for tourists. The famed view of the Amsterdam, and the best place to start your journey and the starting point for Canal cruise. In my experience I would term Amsterdam as Bicycles, Canals, traditional Dutch buildings, and nightlife. Bicycles, Canals, traditional Dutch buildings, and nightlife: Bicycles: Amsterdam is perhaps more popular for its bike friendly ways. The city hosts a dedicated bike racks and tracks and also huge parking space in the central station. The city is quite small compared to other big cities in the World, with a population of just about 1.5 million in its metro limits. Because of the ease with which peop...

Pros and Cons of Huawei Google Nexus 6P

Pros and Cons of Huawei Google Nexus 6P (32GB/Silver) Pros: 1. Camera performance is amazing but lacks manual control. Slow motion video @240fps in 720p is something interesting feature to look for. UHD video also gave good results. Photos look more natural with HDR+ feature enabled. 2. OS : as always my love towards android is ever increasing. With Marshmallow it runs smoothly and performs amazingly with great features. App switching is now made more fun with nice and smooth animation. With Nexus brand you get to enjoy all the future Android updates and new releases along with regular security updates. What's more is its stock Android experience, so install only what you want and no unwanted apps forcefully fed into your smartphone. 3. Phone features : the best thing I liked about this device is surprisingly it's signal catching capability. A phone however smart it is should serve the most basic feature which is calling. Haven't experienced call drops at all, compared t...
