Discover what makes this destination truly special

Located just below the Krishnaraja Sagar (KRS) Dam, Brindavan Gardens is a large, beautifully laid out terraced garden. It's famous for its symmetrical design, lush green lawns, and vibrant flowerbeds. The garden is divided into two main parts, North Brindavan and South Brindavan, separated by the Kaveri river. Visitors can walk across a bridge or take a short boat ride to move between the two sections. The main attraction is the series of ornamental fountains that are spread across the garden.
