The beautifully landscaped roadside gardens along AIIMS Ring Road in New Delhi, India. Dense, colour-coordinated beds of Petunias (Petunia × atkinsiana) in shades of pink, red, and purple line the central verge, adding vibrant seasonal colour to the urban landscape. In the background, steady traffic—including sedans, SUVs, buses, and the city's iconic green-and-yellow auto-rickshaws—moves along the clean multi-lane roadway. A nearby roundabout features a prominent metallic globe sculpture surrounded by modern commercial buildings, showcasing the blend of urban infrastructure and ornamental horticulture that characterises this section of Delhi.
