BANGALORE CITY TOUR SIGHTSEEING PLACES HISTORY
The city of Bangalore is India’s third largest city and the state
capital of Karnataka, known for being a modern, cosmopolitan
metropolis at the helm of the country’s IT-boom. Bangalore is a
shopper’s haven overrun with big malls and shopping districts, as
well as a food lover’s paradise with one of the highest
concentrations of places to eat in the continent. Spotted with
parks and natural lakes, Bangalore is alternately known as ‘The
Garden City of India.’ Recently voted as the most livable metro in
the country, Bangalore is known as‘Pensioner’s Paradise’ on the one
hand and as ‘Start-up City,’ on the other, attracting youth from
across the world with its trending markets and rapid availability
of jobs. With Bangalore’s ever-doubling IT infrastructure, it is
often referred to as the Silicon Valley of India.
Another aspect of Bangalore is soaked in the history of
bygone, ancient cultures. Bangalore has been peopled for up to 3000
years, bearing megalithic monuments that treasure its rich past.
Bangalore, as we know it today, was established in 1537 by
KempeGowda I, who constructed a well-planned city within an oval
mud fort in the area that is today known as City Market. Gradually,
Bangalore grew into a commercial center and a chief part of the
silk industry. Over successive centuries the Marathas, Mughals,
Wodeyars and the Mysore Sultanate, all did their bit to develop the
city further. In 1809 the British set up a cantonment in Bangalore,
drawn by its pleasant weather and central location.
The earliest recorded usage of the name Bengaluru is found in
today’s ‘Old Bangalore,’ in a 9th century temple. According to
legend, King ViraBallala was once lost in the jungles that once
overran these parts. He was wandering, tired and hungry, when an
old woman revived him with her hospitality and a plate of boiled
beans. Out of gratitude the King consequently named the area ‘Benda
KaaluUru’ (Town of Boiled Beans). It was only in 1831, when the
British seized Mysore from the ruling Wodeyars that the capital was
shifted to Bangalore. The anglicization of Bengaluru turned it into
Bangalore until it was recently reverted back to its
original.
Although Bangalore is not a popular tourist destination,
there are many sites worth taking a tour of. The legislative House
of Karnataka, VidhanaSoudha, is one of the Chief attractions of
Bangalore. It was built during the 1950s using granite in a
neo-Dravidian style of architecture. Other places of historical
interest include the Bangalore Palace, constructed by the Mysore
Maharajahs and Tipu Sultan’s Palace, built around 1790 as Tipu’s
summer retreat.
A tour of Bangalore must also include Lalbagh Botanical
Gardens- built by Hyder Ali in 1760, and the Bannerghatta National
Park- a 25,000-acre zoological park one and a half hours away from
Bangalore City. Educational tours of Bangalore may include the
Vishweshwaraiah Industrial and Technological Museum, the State
Archaeological Museum, the Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium, the
Venkatappa Art Gallery and the Karnataka ChitrakalaParishad.
Religious tours of Bangalore cover the Bull Temple in Basavanagudi,
the Maha Bodhi Society Temple- a replica of the Bodh Gaya Stupa,
the ISCKON temple, the Maruthi Temple, the GaviGangadeshwara Cave
Temple as well as many other temples, mosques and churches of
historic significance.
Due to an average elevation of 920 meters above the sea
level, Bangalore enjoys a cool climate throughout the year.
Although summers can get hot with dry heat waves, it seldom exceeds
35 degrees Celsius and hovers around a mean temperature of 24
degrees Celsius.
alore, recently renamed Bengaluru is home to many
Architectural Wonders, Museums, Gardens and Parks and places of
religious interest; all worth a
visit.
Cubbon Park
On a grassy
expanse over a few hundred acres in the centre of Bangalore is
Cubbon Park, planned and laid out in 1864 by Sir Richard Sankey,
thethen Chief Engineer of Mysore. It is named after Sir Mark
Cubbon, Bangalore's longest serving Commissio- ner. Lawns with
vibrant flower beds, shady bowers and flowering trees, make this an
ideal place for fitness freaks and the elderly to take their
morning jogs or evening walks. The Park has elegant classical
buildings like Attara Kacheri (the Karnataka High
Court) and the Visveswaraya Industrial and Technological
Museum, Government Museum, Aquarium, Venkatappa Art Gallery and
Seshadri Iyer Memorial Hall, all of which are well known. Besides
these, it also houses Bal Bhavan - an amusement park for
children.
Cubbon Park is open to the public at all times, but is closed to
traffic from 5 am to 8 am every day.
Lalbagh
Surrounding one
of the towers erected by Kempe Gowda, the founder of Bangalore, is
the 240 acre landscaped Lal Bagh gardens. Haider Ali, the
warrior-king of Mysore, decided to create this garden in 1740 on
the lines of the Mughal Gardens that were popular during his
time.
The park has some rare species of plants brought from Persia,
Afghanistan and France. Hyder Ali's son, Tipu Sultan, added to the
beauty of the garden by publicising his wish to receive
much-sought-after species of plants from visiting
dignitaries.
Cariappa Memorial Park
As a memorial
to Field Marshall K.M. Cariappa of Karnataka, the Cariappa
Park was laid out in 1996 in a portion of the parade grounds
between M.G. Road and Cubbon Road. Spread over 22 acres, the park
has six segments, an entrance plaza and a seven-feet monolithic
monument of Cariappa. There is a huge man-made waterfall and a pond
that attracts birds to the park. At the bandstand which is an
elevated lawn, six military bands perform every fortnight. The
grassy dunes around the bandstand provide comfortable seating for
the public. The garden is maintained by various divisions of the
Army.
A play area has been scientifically created in military style
to improve physical strength and mental co-ordination of children.
There are sand pits, a spiderweb, Tarzan-swing, Burma bridge,
zig-zag tunnels and balance bars.
Bal Bhavan
Bangalore Bal
Bhavan is a beautifully planned amusement park as well as a
recreation center, designed for children. There is a small toy
train inside the park that runs on a track of almost 3/4th mile
inside the beautiful Cubbon Park. Apart from the train, the other
attractions of the Bal Bhavan include a Dolls Museum, which boats
of a rich assortment of dolls and toys collected from different
parts of the world. Read on further to know more about the Bal
Bhawan of Bangalore, India.
A 20 million year old fossilized tree adds to the appeal of
the park. The tree was gifted to the Bhawan by the Geological
Survey of India. There are also facilities for boating inside the
Bhavan, along with a small fair ground and a children's park. The
park has swings, horse rides and tree houses to keep the children
busy and occupied. Hobby classes, like painting, arts and crafts,
etc, are also organized at the Bal Bhavan of
Bangalore.
The Vijayaranga Theatre situated inside the park organizes
children's film shows and theatre performances on a frequent basis.
So, if you are going to Bangalore along with your kids, make sure
to visit the Bal Bhavan.
Bannerghatta National Park
Going to a
zoo can be a vastly different
experience from seeing animals in the wild. Although the
Bannerghatta Park is not on the scale of Jim Corbett National Park,
it does give nature lovers a glimpse of wild animals in their
natural habitat. Situated 25 km from the heart of the city, its
main attractions are bisons, lions, bears, elephants and panthers
among other wildlife. It also has a Serpentarium and a crocodile
farm. Being a picnic spot it is always teeming with
people.
The park officials organise a Tiger Safari, Lion Safari and a
Grand Safari for those interested. You could also wander through
the Zoological Garden, with its canopy of shady and sturdy trees,
find a quiet resting spot beside a pond and watch waterfowl frolic.
A children's corner provides an added attraction. Trekking
enthusiasts will enjoy Uddigebande (3.5 kms.) a natural rock
formation called Hajjamana Kallu (3 kms.) and Mirza Hill (1.5
kms.)
Another major attraction now in the park area is a Butterfly
park. It houses a large variety of these colourful creatures that
you feel tempted to hold them. But do not touch them and see them
flying all over the
place.
Vishweshwariah Industrial and
Tecwhnological Museum
This museum is a
tribute to Sir M. Vishweshwaraiah, a statesman who worked
untiringly to bring science and technology to the common man.
An airplane and a steam engine are displayed in its compound.
Inside there are five galleries, each dedicated to a particular
aspect of technology.
Approach the room of electronics and the door
opens on its own accord, step in and the lights come on, seat
yourself and music fills the room. You can monitor your voice as
you speak, and learn how things are made - from motion pictures to
alarms.
