Good to see the President inaugurating this. The online-only booking is a bit of a hassle for senior citizens who aren't tech-savvy. Could they have a helpline or a few kiosks? Otherwise, the gardens look beautiful in the pictures.

Booking closed for this weekend already! Shows how popular it is. Pro-tip for everyone: book as soon as slots open. It's a fantastic experience, especially for kids. Bal Vatika is a hit.

Respectfully, while the garden is beautiful, I hope the maintenance is top-notch. Sometimes public spaces in Delhi lose their charm due to littering. Hope visitors respect the property. The Holi holiday closure is a sensible decision.
