Ghanshyam Gaudani

The Nayara Flower Show is organised every winter season at Nand Niketan, Nayara Township, Jamnagar, Gujarat. This ocean of flowers is spread out across over 2.5 acres of land with more than 40 different varieties of seasonal flowers and more than 50 varieties of agricultural crops. It was inaugurated on 11th Feb 2022 and will remain open for visitors during February and March (till the flowers are in bloom).

The vibrancy of the colourful flowers was felt in every corner. The Flower Show brought many additional features as well – Innovative use of waste material such as cooling tower fan blades, wooden pellets, ceramic balls, plastic bottles and many other scrape materials brought from the Refinery Area. The Agriculture Zone with 50+ agricultural plants was a “must visit”. Showcasing a diverse variety of crops, the zone provides practical exposure and knowledge building for school children.
The Tree House made under Neem Tree offered an aerial panoramic view and is the place where maximum numbers of photos were clicked. The new addition of Duck House, Fish/duck pond with pot fountain and ‘Avian Abode’ – birdhouse with different exotic birds are the favourite places for visitors. Nayara’s values depicted on Cooling Tower Fan Blades and PAN India’s presence of Nayara by the Retail Outlets carved on earth with colourful Ceramic Balls are the central attractions for visitors.

Over 10,000 footfalls including multiple visits from residents of Nand Niketan Nayara Township, employees and their relatives, friends and guests as well as students of Nand Vidya Niketan School have visited the show. The CSR team also facilitated visits of villagers and school children from the surrounding areas for exposure to horticulture. It is estimated that every mobile phone or camera entering the Nayara Flower Show clicked hundreds of colourful memories and flooded the happiness through their social media accounts.
