Hey there, my little tulip enthusiasts! Let us tell you about the magical Tulip Festival in Srinagar – a super-duper exciting event that celebrates the arrival of spring!

The festival is hosted by the Department of Floriculture, Jammu, and Kashmir. It’s been going on for 15 whole years, and guess what? It keeps getting bigger and better each year!

And you know what’s even cooler? There’s a special tulip named after a legendary Dutch artist called Rembrandt van Rijn. Wow, an artist with a tulip – that’s pretty fancy!

Tulip Extravaganza: Magical Spring!
