In the previous part you read that we two friends have come to visit Rashtrapati Bhavan where 'Amrit Udyan Mahotsav' is going on these days. Compared to normal days, Rashtrapati Bhavan is open to the general public and it will remain open till March 31. Till now we have visited only the Tulip Garden. Now let me show you further views from the Tulip Garden.

So despite all the restrictions I manage to click some photos. The tulip flowers present here are orange, pink, yellow and red in colour. There are other flowers here too, I am less interested in them right now. Because when you have tulips in front of your eyes then why would you want to see other flowers.
Moving forward from here we reach the section where there is a Bonsai garden. There are different types of bonsai trees here. I have never seen bonsai plants in front of my eyes before and today looking at these plants I feel as if all the small plants are absorbed in penance. To make the plants look beautiful, put colorful stones under all the plants. I see small children picking up these stones and playing with them and their parents are repeatedly telling them to put the stones back.
Moving ahead comes the fountain which is dancing with the music. We also stop and watch the dance of the fountain for some time. Now as soon as we enter the next section, we reach in front of Rashtrapati Bhavan. The tricolor of our country is fluttering above the building. The public is walking in the prescribed line, fountains are running in front of Rashtrapati Bhavan, different types of flowers are in bloom. And there is a special type of tree which has been cut into square pieces.
We are moving past trees that look like ice cream, I am not able to satisfy myself with the photography clicked on my mobile because the crowd is not letting me stop. The crowd was pushing me forward towards a river. There has been no sunlight since morning but every now and then the sun is playing pranks and disappearing into the clouds again. A very beautiful footing has been made on the grass with flowers, seeing which I feel like lying down on it. And finally we pass right in front of Rashtrapati Bhavan and I manage to click a photo.
The next section is of roses. It is winter here, so the roses are not blooming as beautifully as they used to. This section is like a gallery with rose gardens on both sides. Here I saw white, red, yellow, pink and orange roses. If we move ahead, we reach an arena like place where there are different types of flowers and in the middle, a fountain is running with full enthusiasm. Now everyone has to move forward by circling this arena.
As soon as we leave this arena made of flowers, we come out. This means we can go home now. So both of us quickly go out and take the metro from here to our respective homes. Whatever important things had to be discussed, we completed them while visiting Rashtrapati Bhavan. And this time I told her that next time don't ask me to get up early in the morning and I will not come to such a crowded place at all.
