• Visit the Lalbagh Botanical Garden, the oldest and largest garden in Bangalore, featuring over 2,000 rare and tropical plant species, including more than 1,800 types of plants, bushes, and trees. This garden is often called the lungs of the city. Enjoy the diverse flora and fauna, including a variety of wild bird species and wildlife. • Explore the Bull Temple in Bangalore, dedicated to the Nandi Bull, the vehicle of Lord Shiva. Built in 1537 by Kempe Gowda during the Vijayanagara empire, this temple features a grand granite Nandi monolith situated on a pedestal within the shrine. The revered statue has been darkened over the years due to the application of charcoal and oil. • Visit Vidhana Soudha, which is India's largest legislative and office building, constructed in 1956 in the grand Dravidian architectural style. With around 300 rooms, this notable structure accommodates 22 departments of the state government. Although it is an active government building, the exterior can be admired for its architectural beauty. • Discover the expansive cultural complex of the ISKCON temple, inaugurated in 1997 by Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma. As one of the largest ISKCON temples in the world, it embodies the organization's goal of promoting bhakti yoga, a spiritual practice aimed at dedicating thoughts and actions to Lord Krishna. This temple combines rich history and beautiful architecture, presenting an opportunity to engage with Hindu traditions. • Conclude your itinerary with a visit to Bangalore Palace, which is situated on land that previously belonged to Rev. J. Garrett, the first principal of Central High School, now known as Central College. In 1873, this property was purchased from Rev. Garrett for Rs. 40,000 by the British Guardians of Maharaja Chamarajendra Wadiyar 10, using his personal funds. While only the exterior will be viewed, the tour will provide insights into its intriguing history and fascinating stories.
