The Brindavan Gardens is a garden located 12 k.ms from the city of Mysore[1] in the Mandya District of the Indian State of Karnataka. It lies adjoining the Krishnarajasagara Dam which is built across the river Kaveri.[2] The work on laying out this garden was started in the year 1927 and completed in 1932.[3][4] Visited by close to 2 million tourists per year, the garden is one of the major attractions of Srirangapatna.[5] Sir Mirza Ismail, the Deewan of Mysore, a man with a penchant for gardens, founded the Brindavan Gardens (Krishnaraja Sagar Dam in particular) and built the Cauvery River high-level canal to irrigate 120,000 acres (490 km2) in modern Mandya district.[citation needed] The gardens were designed by German botanist and landscape designer Gustav Hermann Krumbiegel.
