Visitors can enjoy cultural performances, exhibitions, and interactive sessions, while exploring the floral beauty and historical attractions of the Rashtrapati Nilayam. The event will also have 50 exhibition stalls featuring participants from various sectors.
The stalls will cover topics like organic fertilisers, composting, gardening tools, garden décor, and floral crafts. Visitors can also find horticulture-based food products and sustainable items. Nurseries will exhibit a stunning variety of native and exotic plants, while start-ups will showcase innovations in urban gardening and sustainable agriculture. Daily workshops from 11 am to 1 pm will teach sustainable gardening and urban gardening techniques.
In addition to the exhibits, Udyan Utsav will feature captivating cultural performances. These include the Shankh Vadan Dance of Odisha, the Diwari Dance of Madhya Pradesh, and Akhara, a martial art dance from Madhya Pradesh, among others.
