Bengaluru (Bangalore) Further Distractions

Vishana Soudha
The Vishana Soudha is Bengaluru's most imposing building. It was built in 1954 by convicts in the ancient Dravidian style, complete with onion domes. It houses the Secretariat and the State Legislature. As such, it is not open to the public.

Palace
Bangalore Palace, in the north of the city, was built in 1880 during the time of the British Raj as a replica of Windsor Castle, complete with granite towers, turrets and battlements. It was purchased by the descendants of the royal dynasty, the Wodeyars of Mysore, and part of the family still live there so it is, unfortunately not open to the public.
