Bangalore Palace
The Bangalore Palace belonging to the Wodeyar Kings of Mysore is a majestic structure built in Tudor Style. The Palace has fortified towers, battlements and turrets. Interiors look regal with elegant wood carvings, floral motifs, and relief paintings. These make the Bangalore Palace a must visit to appreciate the city’s past.
With furniture in Edwardian and Victorian themes, the Bangalore Palace has a striking resemblance to the Windsor Castle of England.
The audio tour provides a rich detail of the life and times of the Wodeyar Kings and their relationship with the British Empire.
Venkatappa Gallery
We walk to Venkatappa Gallery, which holds the paintings and other objects of art collected by Karnataka’s greatest artist Venkatappa who was a court painter of the Mysore Kings. The modernist building was built in 1975 and is designed like an artificial island with a beautiful moat and surrounded by a lotus pond.
Vidhan Soudha
We visit Vidhan Soudha, which houses the Legislative Chambers of the state government. The three hundred rooms accommodate twenty-two departments of the state government. The building rises to a height of almost 46 m, making it one of the most imposing tourist places to visit in Bangalore. Constructed purely out of granite and porphyry, Vidhana Soudha is adorned with four domes on its four corners. Since this is a working government office, we see it from outside.
Attara Kacheri – High Court Building
Attara Kacheri is a remarkable building designed in Gothic style. Built in 1867, Attara Kacheri was commissioned by Tipu Sultan to house the offices of 18 departments of revenue and general secretariat. Today it serves as the High Court for the state of Karnataka. We will be seeing it from outside.
