Bengaluru Blooms Pink: How Neginhal's Vision Transformed the Garden City

• Former forester S.G. Neginhal's 1980s plan to increase green cover led to Bengaluru's pink transformation.
• The beautiful pink flowers are primarily 'Tabebuia Rosea', also known as 'Pink Trumpet', native to Central and South America.
• These blooms offer mental peace and a pleasant relief in the urban concrete jungle, signaling the arrival of summer.
• Neginhal's foresight considered the ecosystem, providing habitat and food for local birds and bees, helping control city temperatures.
• Pink Bengaluru has become a major tourist attraction and social media sensation, drawing visitors globally to spots like Cubbon Park.
