Modern Bangalore (Bengaluru) was founded by Kempegowda, a medieval chieftain, in the great Vijayanagara Kingdom. How was the city back then? What kind of people lived? How did it transform from a small medieval town to this big bustling metropolis?
Join us on a unique walk around the 'pettah' area of Bangalore and learn more about this fort city built by Kempegowda. Explore parts of the city you have never been to before, learn about the city history that might shatter some of the myths that we usually associate it with.
It is one of Bangalore's oldest settlements, filled with mazes of tiny streets, communities of professionals buzzing with energy, and the typical South Indian life. Walk along, unhurried. The 'modern' side of modern Bangalore often overrides the glorious heritage of the old city.
With the rice-pete, jeweller's-pete, small-pete, large-pete, the criss-cross of narrow lanes, the little shops, of local produce, century-old temples tucked away behind posters of Kannada films, the old city breathes a different breath of today's Bangalore.
