Monuments in Bangalore

 

AN ARCHITECTURAL SPLENDOUR:
Inspired by the Windsor Castle, it was built in 1887 by Chamaraja Wodeyar in Tudor-style. Standing in the heart of the city, this unique edifice gives the impression of a piece of England's architecture in Bangalore. The palace was earlier surrounded by beautiful gardens in the midst of a vast open area, which have reduced considerably today.  
 

Supervised and executed by engineers and architects led by the then Chief Engineer, late B.R.Manickam of the Public Works Department, the Vidhana Soudha is an arresting monument. The building project was started in 1952 and took five thousand labourers, 1500 chisellers, masons and wood carvers four years to complete. Built entirely from Bangalore granite in the Dravidian style, it has floral motifs on stone carvings drawn from the celebrated temple craft of South India.
