The Neo-Dravidian-style Vidhana Soudha is the seat of the state legislature while the red Attara Kacheri houses the High Court. In 2005, an annex called the Vikas Soudha was inaugurated, designed as an exact replica of the Vidhana Soudha. Though these buildings cannot be visited, they can be viewed from the outside.

The more imposing building - Vidhana Soudha, which houses the Legislative Assembly of the state of Karnataka was built post-independence and is a beautiful building on this broad boulevard. Across from it is the Attara Kacheri, the High Court of the state, which is a beautiful long red building and is a much older building. It was built in 1868.

Unique modern temple (especially space utilisation as it encircled a mall in a busy area :) ) giving opportunity to experience the grandeur of Shiva with various exhibition of 12 Jyothir linga and other offerings (milk/water abhishek, lamp, aggarbatti) to Shiva and worry dropping processes. Entry comes in 50, 150 and 250 rs and externally well guided. Soothing place, cave like passages leading to huge Shiva Murthy with fountain. Navgraha also there.

It was lovely to see the beautiful Bangalore Palace which is one of the eye catching tourist attractions of the city. The architecture is Tudor style and looks European. It was built by Maharaja Chamraja Wodeyar. It has been the summer residence and it is just beautiful. Lovely paintings and artifacts are displayed. The Maharaja courtyard is the best. The garden is also nice
