About this stone
One of India's most renowned horticultural landmarks, this garden spans over 240 acres and traces its origins to the 18th century, when it was commissioned by Hyder Ali and later expanded by his son, Tipu Sultan. The grounds showcase an extensive collection of tropical plants, including rare species from around the world. A major attraction is the iconic glasshouse, modeled after London's Crystal Palace, which hosts annual flower shows that draw visitors from across the country. Serene lakes and well-maintained pathways wind through the space, and a 3,000-million-year-old Peninsular Gneiss rock formation adds geological intrigue to the botanical treasures. It serves as both a sanctuary for plant life and a tranquil retreat amidst the bustling city.
