To 10:00 am
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.
