Lawns, flower beds, open spaces, shades, are all available in this public park. The most attractive feature remains the musical fountains that are laid in the garden with multi colored effects. This is a historic attraction of the Indian state of Karnataka. This is a treat to the eye. Musical ballet as it is wonderfully referred at times is the most appropriate word to define it. The harmony created between water pressure, lights and music is controlled by a controller.
