The urban forest created around a banyan tree and a replica of the Niagara Falls attracted many visitors on the inaugural day of the month long Karavali Utsava at the Karavali Utsava grounds on Saturday.
The forest is located on the right side of the Karavali Utsava grounds as one enters from the Lalbagh Road entrance gate. The Forest Department has laid steps to climb up the banyan tree and go on a foot overbridge. This leads to a cave where people can hear the roar of a tiger. As one comes out of the cave, there are small patches of a paddy field and a display of the lifestyle of forest dwellers.
Many people also visited the replica of Niagara Falls, which was illuminated with colourful lights.
