Asia's largest tulip garden, the Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden, opened on Sunday (March 19) for travellers to admire the beautiful flowers.
Located between Dal Lake and the Zabarwan hills in Srinagar, the garden has over 1.5 million (15 lakh) tulips of various colours and hues.
Besides a scenic display of tulips, the garden, formerly known as Siraj Bagh, has other spring flowers such as hyacinths, daffodils, muscari and cyclamens.
The tulip festival is an annual celebration that aims to showcase the range of flowers in the garden as part of the tourism efforts by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir.
It is also organised during the onset of the spring season every year.
