Geography & terrain

Brindavan Gardens lie in the Mandya district of Karnataka, 20 km from Mysore and 140 km from Bangalore — the terraced gardens of the region, its Krishnaraja Sagar dam, the fountains and the evening lights set on the Kaveri's flow.

History & culture

The gardens' story runs with the dam-building era of the 1930s — the gardens laid out beside the Krishnaraja Sagar dam of the Mysore state, with the gardens' modern role as the evening-light show and the picnic stop of the Mysore circuit; the gardens' history of the dam's irrigation and the designer gardens of the Cauvery, gives Brindavan its dam-garden character.
