 Bangalore Palace

 

Bangalore is a city full of contrasts gleaming tech parks beside centuries-old trees, street food stalls across from glassy malls, and bustling roads leading to places where time seems to have paused. One such place is the Bangalore Palace.

Step inside its gates, and suddenly, the city’s noise fades. What replaces it is a sense of grandeur, quiet dignity, and timeless beauty. Built in 1878, the Bangalore Palace was inspired by England’s Windsor Castle. And it shows from its Tudor-style architecture to its ornate wood carvings, stained glass windows, and winding staircases originally purchased by the Wadiyar dynasty, the palace served as a private residence for the royal family. Today, it stands not just as a monument to the past, but as a storybook you can walk through Every room, every hallway, feels like a whisper from history. In a city that never stops moving, Bangalore Palace is a moment of stillness—a reminder of where the city came from, even as it races It doesn’t scream for attention. It doesn’t sparkle like the new high-rises. But it lingers in memory.

Graceful. Proud. Timeless.

So if you ever find yourself in Bangalore, looking for something more than cafés and traffic and tech walk through those iron gates.

And let the palace show you a different side of the city

A royal one.
