The garden is maintained by the Cauvery Irrigation
Department, a Government of Karnataka enterprise. It is spread across an area
of 60 acres . Adjoining it is also a fruit orchard spread across 75 acres, and
2 horticultural farms, Nagavana and
Chandravana. The garden is laid out in 3 terraces which contain water
fountains, trees, plants.The garden is
open to general public and an entry-fee is charged. The garden also has topiary
works (sculptures of animals created by clipping shrubs)and pergolas (shaded
passageway covered by creepers). The main attraction of the park is the musical
fountain in which water is synchronised
to the music of songs. There is also a lake within the garden with boating facilities
available for visitors.
The garden was renovated in 2005. The renovation included
sprucing up the musical fountain using a digitised system and repairs of
dysfunctional fountains. In 2007, the Gardens were closed for a brief duration
as a safety measure to avoid trouble related to the Kaveri water dispute.

Lovely pictures. A beautifully orchestrated show involving harmonious coupling of water with colourful lights and music, the fountain comes to life after sunset. Lasers are installed along with the lights to make the show more dramatic. Check out more about Brindavan Gardens, one of the most visited places in Mysore by locals and tourists.
