This beautiful sight has surprised the internet, as many didn’t expect to witness it in one of India’s busiest cities. Several netizens are sharing images on social media, saying the season is finally back.

One user wrote, “Amid Mumbai’s noise, traffic, and pollution, a small oasis of beauty blooms in Vikhroli, Mumbai.”

Another netizen couldn’t believe it and asked, “Is it for real?”

These trees grow quickly and shed their leaves for a short period. When fully grown, they usually reach a height of about 25 to 30 feet. City authorities often plant them because they are easy to maintain and require very little water.

If you’re in Mumbai, don’t miss this stunning sight in the city. Honestly, it feels illegal to skip it!
