A touch of the past

by Tijavi

Marvel at the heritage homes scattered throughout the city. The one shown here, located in busy (and very prime) MG Road, offers a refreshing break from the traditional (but architecturally magnificent) Indian architecture.

Shopping/Strolling on M.G Road

by lavnya

M.G Road or Mahatma Gandhi Road is a pleasant road with a few of the old-world charms
Bangalore has got to offer. It's a mixture of the old and the new, places to shop, street-vendors, coffee-shops, restaurants, pubs etc.

lakes

"KARANJI LAKE"

The Karanji Lake located at the footsteps of Chamundi Hills is spread over an area of 90 acres. One of the biggest lakes in Karnataka, the lake affords an enchanting view of the Lalitha Mahal Palace.

Many species of migratory birds have made the lush vegetation at the zoo their breeding site, which is largely attributable to the rich herbage and tiny marshy islands provided by the lake.

"KUKKARAHALLI LAKE"

Located in the peaceful and serene vicinity of the Mysore University, the Kukkarahalli Lake was built by Dewan Poornaiah in 1864 AD. The lake sprawling over 120 acres has more than 180 species of birds including the aquatic kind.

The lake plays host to over 30 species of migratory birds that fly all the way from far flung areas such as the cold environs of Siberia, to breed here.

"LINGAMBUDI LAKE"

Located at Ramakrishna Nagar about 7 kms from Mysore, Lingambudi Lake is the biggest and the oldest lake in Mysore.

The lake was built by Krishnaraja Wodeyar III in 1828 AD in memory of his wife, Lingajammanni. The lake spread over an area of 260 acres is being conserved and developed by the Forest Department.

Lingambudi Lake is known for its wide species of birds and bio-diversity, with nearly 250 species of birds visiting the lake during the season including a few endangered species like spot-billed pelican, Indian darter, pin tailed duck, shoveller and garganey.

"ULSOOR LAKE"

The famous Ulsoor Lake is centrally located sprawling over an area of 1.5 sq. kms. Originally known as "Halsur" or "Alsur", the lake then extended over an area of 125 acres. Constructed by Kempe Gowda II, this pretty picnic spot is on the northeastern fringe of the city centre.

Dotted with picturesque tiny island, it is just the spot to take a break from busy sight seeing and shopping. It is a major tourist attraction with a boat club where you can hire out cruises with stops at some of the tiny islands that dot the lake.
