The 2025 edition of the Lalbagh Flower Show honored Adikavi Maharshi Valmiki, the esteemed author of the epic, The Ramayana. Over 475,000 visitors were attracted to the dazzling show of floral displays and exhibits.

The flower show featured several booths highlighting organic products and indigenous artifacts. While vendors were busy selling their products, the Falun Dafa booth provided free informational materials and practitioners taught the exercises for free. Although attendees had the option to purchase Falun Dafa books, the books can also be read online for free. The owner of a nearby booth praised practitioners’ patience and selfless volunteer work.
