The aim of pushpamela is very good, But this time I felt that it seams to be a business. Actually there was nothing what justify the unlimited crowd who who enters. If the organizers wish, they could have arrange more attractions.The stalls were selling there items with higher price than out side. We can purchase better plants with better price from out side. except one or two items there was no special and attracting verity of fish or aquarium. The rain photos were good and informative. They could have add more show by adding verity of Dogs, cats,and birds. after a long queue waiting and 30 rs ticket this pushpamela disappointed me.
