ABOUT THE PLACE

A garden by the statue

The Valley of Flowers (with Bharat Van and the flower gardens) is one of the many attractions developed around the Statue of Unity at Kevadia. Stretching along the river and the approach roads, it is a vast, colourful landscape of seasonal flowers, flowering shrubs and ornamental planting — millions of plants chosen to bloom in waves of colour through the cooler months.

Created as part of the greening of the once-barren Kevadia area, it has transformed the surroundings of the statue into a garden, especially vivid during the annual flower shows. A bright, photogenic prelude to the great monument.
