An outdoor informational sign welcomes visitors to the "Vriksha Valli, an Indigenous Biodiversity Garden" in Mumbai, India. The main subject is a large, reflective metallic plaque positioned vertically, partially obscured by green foliage at the top and bottom. The plaque's text explains that the garden encourages visitors to engage with nature, inspired by a devotional song (abhang) by 17th-century poet Sant Tukaram Maharaj, which describes plants and animals as man's relatives. The garden aims to celebrate India's biodiversity, emphasizing the role of plants, and features over a hundred indigenous species, hoping to inspire preservation of natural and cultural heritage. Below this description, the sign lists collaborations and support: "A Project At THE MUSEUM Mumbai CSMVS" (with a logo and "100 - YEARS -"), "Supported By HT Parekh FOUNDATION A HDFC Initiative" (with a logo), and "In Partnership With CENTRE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION" (with a logo). To the right of the metallic sign, two wooden planks are placed horizontally on the ground. The top plank displays "वृक्ष वल्ली" (Vriksha Valli) in white Devanagari script. The bottom plank reads "AN INDIGENOUS BIODIVERSITY GARDEN" in white capital letters. The ground surface features an etched design resembling a Mughal-era architectural element, possibly a dome or archway. Small rocks and more green foliage are visible around the signs. The lighting suggests it is daytime.
