Before Ugadi, Bengaluru transforms into a stunning pink paradise as thousands of Tabebuia rosea (pink trumpet) trees burst into bloom, lining streets and neighborhoods in soft shades of pink. This iconic sight is not accidental — it’s the result of a visionary effort by Sethuram Gopalrao Neginhal, who, in the 1980s, planted 15 lakh trees across the city.🥹✨
Chosen for their beauty, fast growth, shade, and adaptability to Bengaluru’s climate, these trees were part of a people-driven urban greening initiative. Decades later, the pink streets remind the city of Neginhal’s enduring legacy and the careful planning that earned Bengaluru its “Garden City” title. 🌸✨
