New Delhi: Hyderabad’s winter season is set to bloom with the return of Udyan Utsav at Rashtrapati Nilayam. The floral festival will once again open the gates of the historic Presidential estate, inviting visitors to explore its expansive lawns, landscaped gardens, and seasonal flower displays.

Located in Bolarum, Secunderabad, Rashtrapati Nilayam serves as the official winter residence of the President of India. Spread across a heritage-rich campus, the estate is usually off-limits to the public, making the festival a rare opportunity for residents and tourists alike.

Being held in Hyderabad for the second consecutive year, Udyan Utsav transforms the Nilayam into a vibrant showcase of horticulture. Visitors can stroll through colourful beds of seasonal flowers, themed gardens, and carefully designed photo-friendly corners set amid lush greenery.

The event highlights not just visual appeal but also the importance of sustainable and well-planned urban green spaces, aligning leisure with environmental awareness.

Beyond floral displays, the festival places strong emphasis on learning and livelihoods. Stalls set up by farmer-producer organisations, agri-startups, and government horticulture departments will feature organic produce, saplings, seeds, and eco-friendly products.

Gardening enthusiasts can explore indigenous plants, sustainable gardening practices, and natural products developed by farmers and startups. Interactive discussions and exhibitions will showcase farmer-led innovations and green initiatives.

A special attraction this year is an exhibition of GI-tagged products from different parts of India. The festival also includes learning activities designed for visitors of all age groups, making it a family-friendly outing.
