EXPLORING BASAVANAGUDI
Good old days: Of Beautiful Homes and Laidback Lifestyle
Basavanagudi. A modern extension of Bengaluru in the late 1800s, with an ancient name. The walk takes one through the area when the home meant a vintage bungalow or at least an elegant home.
Roads were spacious with broad pavements well lined by avenue of trees. The city's modern housing and lifestyle in the 1900s reflected the fact that Mysore was considered as a 'model' state for others to emulate.
We take you through this once 'modern' suburb and explore its ancient temple which lent the area its name, its stately homes, its bustling market named after a 'Mahatma' and its famous personalities who were writers, thinkers or Statesmen of the era gone by.
