The beautifully maintained road medians near the AIIMS Flyover in the heart of New Delhi. Bright pink Cockscomb flowers (Celosia argentea var. cristata) create a colourful display amid the city's urban landscape. Their vivid blooms stand out against the backdrop of heavy traffic, modern residential apartment towers, and wide multi-lane roads. As cars, buses, and other vehicles move steadily through the intersection, the landscaped medians showcase the blend of greenery and infrastructure that characterises India's capital. The scene offers a glimpse of New Delhi's efforts to beautify public spaces while maintaining the rhythm of daily urban life.
