Ekamra Kanan
Ekamra Kanan or Ekamra Kanan Botanical Gardens is a botanical garden and a park located in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India.[1] This is the biggest park and one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city.[2][3] The park was established in 1985 and is spread over an area of 500 acres of land.[4] This botanical park is a part of Government of Odisha's research organisation Regional Plant Resource Centre (RPRC).[3] In 2017, the local residents and visitors complained that the authority was not taking proper care of the place. The aquatic garden was filled with weeds, and the place was not clean.[3] In 2019, a 2-day flower-show was conducted here.[5]
