It has lovely fountains and Ashoka Stambh as a charm. There are different places to sit and have a good time with family, friends and loved ones. Moreover, many small vendors sell their different edible items and toys to make their living. It also has many signs and boards of safety and advertisement. After the sunset, the beauty of this place gets enhanced. The glorious different color lights on the way and the Light Show makes it more stunning. It has good spot to click pictures and selfies as it is constructed so beautifully. Boating is also a very good option to spend your time. One can feel the relaxing wind breeze enjoying the sunset. It can also please and relieve people with busy life by giving them a break. Ironically, the actual beauty lies in the hustle and bustle city area at a side in contrast with the soothing view on the other.
