Unhurried specialises in themed tours and walks that bring to life the
rich culture and heritage that is such an integral part of India.
Below listed are the Walks for the month of Decemeber 2012
Venue: Entrance, St Francis Xavier Cathedral, St John's Church road.
Benson Town, Cox Town, Fraser Town - East Bangalore has been home to the English settlements that revolved around the Bangalore Cantonment. The nucleus of these towns have been the many Cathedrals, Basilicas, ancient Chapels and Churches known for their varied architectural styles, elaborate carvings, colonial facades and domes.
Join us on a Cathedral Walk along the St John’s Church road as we take a tour through centuries old Cathedrals, admire the architecture and peek into pieces of Cantonment history that are engraved in their precincts. The walk is jointly led by Pushpa Achanta, a long time Benson Town resident and an Independent writer and me.
The Malleswaram walk
Date & Time: Dec 2, 2012; 7.00 am
Venue: Entrance, Kadu Malleswara Temple, Temple road, Malleswaram Bangalore's erstwhile suburb.
Now a thriving residential and commercial area, evokes a strong feeling of nostalgia among people who lived there and an equal measure of curiosity by those who want to see the 'other part of the city'. So who 'founded' Malleswaram and when did it come into existence? What was Malleswaram like a 100 years ago? Who were the people who lived there? Is it really very South Indian in its nature? Come to where it all started, the Kadu Malleswara temple premises and listen to a fantastic story that wends its way through time; from centuries past to the present, to discover the answers to these questions.
Join us on a unique walk, as we take you around this 'North Extension' of Bangalore.
