Virasat-E-Hariyali

Honoring our Roots, Planting our Future

Welcome to Ashoka Garden, a sanctuary in the heart of North Delhi and a key destination for Palaash Mahotsav 2026. This year, our theme, Virasat-E-Hariyali (Heritage of Greenery), is more than just a flower show; it is a tribute to the ancient green wisdom of our land.

The event is aligned with a broader mission to provide resilient and sustainable green public spaces for all citizens. The festival features a range of horticultural displays and environmental showcases centered on resilient, sustainable green public spaces. It serves as a platform for highlighting conservation and the role of ecological balance within urban environments. We invite you to experience the rejuvenation of our city's public gardens and support our collective efforts toward a cleaner and greener Delhi.
