Adding to the attractions, the Karnataka Horticulture Department opened a new park in January, last year. Built at a cost of Rs.12 crore, the park is symbolic of the friendship between the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The park has been named as the Karnataka Siri Horticulture Garden, the land for which was donated by the former Maharaja of Mysore, with an intention of helping farmers to grow potatoes. Some of the features of the garden are a glass house for temperate plants, topiary garden, small lakes of water, attractive Pallet and Italian gardens. The park is looked at as a true model for linguistic friendship.
