Program details

Malleswaram boasts of many temples, but none is so shrouded in controversy and mystery as this one is. The ancient Nandeeshwara temple at Malleswaram 17th cross was discovered only three years ago, but it has stood for 7,000 years on that spot. Being buried over the years.



The olden day suburb now at the heart of the city, Malleswaram evokes a strong sense of nostalgia and curiosity among Bangaloreans and outsiders alike. Malleswaram was visualised and built as a suburb to the old city in late 1800s. A home to upper-class who commuted by horse carriage and vintage car to the city. It gradually became home to government employees, scientists, textile mill workers largely middle class.



Exploring this authentically South Indian Malleswaram, this walk takes you through delights of south Indian life: in Hindu temples, street shopping for hand owen flowers and pooja materials, freshly brewed filter coffee and one of Bangalore's best dosas.
