The Republic Day Horticultural Show, organised by Mysore Horticultural Society kickstarted on Friday, with the floral carpet of the pink cassias, golden acacias, purple jacarandas and flame-orange gulmohars beckoning visitors in hordes.

Not only do the variety of flowers attract your eye but what is engaging is the neat arrangement of fruits such as Guava, amla, sapota, and organic products.

Representatives from the agriculture universities of Dharwad and Bangalore, the Indian Institute of Horticulture Research, and the Central Indian Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Organisation are also participating.

The entry fee is Rs 15. The show is open to the public from 9am to 8 pm till January 26.
