EXPLORING BASAVANAGUDI

Named after a temple for a Bull: A walk through the area's Medieval roots to Modern Times

Basavanagudi. An area named after a temple for a Bull! A modern extension of Bengaluru in the late 1800s. 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 the State was considered as a 'model' one 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 Gandhi and its famous personalities who were writers, thinkers or statesmen of the era gone by.
