BENGALURU -- There are gardens in airport terminals. And then there is Bengaluru's "terminal in a garden." That is how the city's Kempegowda International Airport describes its lush, green new Terminal 2.

From the entrance (a walk-through image of a garden) the terminal is a tribute to Bengaluru's heritage as a garden city. Swaths of greenery, landscaped spaces and living green walls encompass the sprawling 255,000-square-meter terminal.
