85,000 Plants Form 'Vande Mataram' in Kadiyam Independence Day Tribute
Some gardeners in a place called Kadiyam wanted to celebrate India's Independence Day in a special way.
They used 85,000 little plants to spell out the words 'Vande Mataram' in their plant nursery.
'Vande Mataram' is a very old patriotic song that is very special to many people in India.
The plants were carefully arranged to form the letters of the song's name.
A farmer named Sathibabu led the work, and other farmers helped for almost a week.
The gardeners wanted to remind people of the song's long and important history.
They also wanted younger people to learn about why the song still matters today.
The colorful display turned the nursery into a special place to visit for Independence Day.
The young farmers said it was their way of showing love for their country through plants.
Nursery farmers in Kadiyam, East Godavari district, used 85,000 plants to spell out 'Vande Mataram' at Palla Venkanna Nursery.
The plant-based display was created as an Independence Day tribute.
The initiative aimed to highlight the patriotic significance of 'Vande Mataram' and its 150-year legacy.
Nursery farmer Sathibabu led the initiative, with farmers working for nearly a week to complete it.
Young farmers P. Venkatesh and Vinay said the idea combined Kadiyam's nursery expertise with a message of patriotism.
