The olden day suburb of Bengaluru, Malleswaram evokes a strong sense of nostalgia and curiosity among Bangaloreans and outsiders alike. A large modern mall and the typically South Indian street shopping side-by-side, Malleswaram presents to you a quintessential slice of the south Indian life, modern and age-old.
Malleswaram was visualised and built as a suburb in 1900s, where the affluent and the middle-class stayed. It was far enough from the central business district i.e. the old city, but close enough to take a short horse carriage ride or later, in a vintage car. Today it is a busy area, with a mall, temples, traditional markets, swanky buildings and old world bungalows; a classic juxtaposition of old and new.
Explore this authentically South Indian Malleshwaram. This walk will give a peek into South Indian life through its temples, street shopping, freshly brewed filter coffee and one of Bangalore's best dosas.
