Parasta Bengaluru

Bengaluru's Absolute Essentials

Bengaluru's heritage is anchored by the 19th-century Bangalore Palace and Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace, showcasing intricate Indo-Islamic architecture. The city’s green identity is defined by the historic Lalbagh Botanical Gardens and central Cubbon Park. Significant landmarks include the 16th-century Bangalore Fort and the Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum. The spiritual landscape spans the Gothic-style St. Mary's Basilica, the massive ISKCON Sri Radha Krishna-Chandra Temple, and the 65-foot statue at Shivoham Shiva Temple. In the traditional neighborhood of Basavanagudi, the Dodda Ganesha Temple remains a vital cultural site.
