3. National Gallery of Modern Art
If you're an art lover, don't miss visiting the
National Gallery of Modern Art on Palace Road.
This gallery, which opened in 2009, is the third
such one in India (the others are in Delhi and
Mumbai). It's housed in a Colonial mansion
with a garden setting and has two
interconnected wings. The old are features
works from the early 18th century up until
India's Independence, while the new one
displays works from a large number of modern
and contemporary artists. There's a cafe on the
premises as well. The gallery is open
daily, except Monday, from 10 a.m until 5 p.m
4. Tippu Sulthan’s palace and Fort
Situated inside the Bangalore Fort area, Tipu
Sultan's Palace was originally built by
Chikkadeva Raya in mud. Later, Hyder Ali
started reconstruction in Indo-Islamic
architecture. This was completed by his son,
Tipu Sultan, in 1791. The Hindu temple seen in
the courtyard of the fort is the proof of Tipu
Sultan's religious tolerance. The palace is open
daily from 8.30 a.m. until 5.30 p.m. Combine
visiting it with nearby Krishna Rajendra
Market.
5. Attara Kacheri (High Court) and Surroundings
This eye-catching red, two-storied building, built in 1867
under the reign of Tipu Sultan, has magnificent
neoclassical architecture. It houses the High Court and
many lower courts, and sits opposite Vidana Soudha at
the entrance to Cubbon Park.
Close to the Court is the red, Gothic-style State Central
Library building, with imposing stone and fluted pillars.
Nearby, the highlight at the Government Museum is a
collection of artifacts and stone carvings dating back to
the 12th century, and excavated from places including
Hampi. Adjacent to the Museum is Venkatappa Art
Gallery, devoted to displaying famous paintings, plaster
of Paris works and wooden sculptures of renowned
artist Venkatappa (who painted for the royal family).
Tickets for the museum also provide entry to the art
gallery.
6. Lalbagh botanical Garden
This expansive garden started out as a private
Mughal-style garden for the city's royal rulers. It was
established in 1760 by Hyder Ali and later extended by
his son Tipu Sultan. It now covers 240 acres, and
derives its name from the red roses that bloom
throughout the year there. The garden is said to have
the most diverse species of plants in the world. Its
focal point is a majestic glasshouse, built in 1889 to
commemorate the visit of the Prince of Wales. It was
designed along the lines of the Crystal Palace in
London.
The garden is open from 6.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m.
throughout the year. It takes on a festive look during
India's Independence Day and Republic Day
celebrations, with a captivating show of over 200
varieties of flowers. The show also features an
exhibition of hybrid vegetables.
7. Cubbon park
Occupying a 300-acre area in Bangalore's
business district, Cubbon Park is a popular
place for walkers, joggers, nature lovers, and
anyone who just wants to laze around. The
park was named after the erstwhile
Commissioner of Bangalore, Sir Mark
Cubbon. Many ornamental and flowering
trees, both exotic and indigenous, can be
found there. Kids will enjoy the special Bal
Bhavan play area and aquarium inside the
park.
8. Vidana soudha
Built in 1954, Vidana Soudha is a landmark
of Bangalore, next to Cubbon Park. This
enormous building is a massive example of
neo-Dravidian architecture, with four
domes on its four corners. It houses the
Legislative Chamber of Karnataka
Government, as well as accommodates
many government departments.
Unfortunately, it's not open to the public
but is stunningly illuminated at night.
