‘Vishwaguru Basavanna and Vachana Sahithya (literature)’ will be the theme of this year’s Republic Day flower show at Lalbagh Botanical Garden, which will be organised from January 18 to 28 by the Horticulture Department.
The floral replica of Anubhava Mantapa will be the main attraction at the show, officials said. Replicas of Aikya Mantapa, Ishta Linga Prathiroopa, Basavanna’s interactions with the public, and other aspects related to Basavanna’s life will be exhibited. Large screens will be set up in various sections of Lalbagh where information related to Basavanna and Vachana literature will be showcased.
“We will also have models, busts, and statues related to Vachana writers like Allama Prabhu, Akka Mahadevi, Ambigara Chowdayya, and others,” D.S. Ramesh, director, Horticulture Department, told The Hindu.
