In the centre of Bangalore, India, Vidhana Soudha is a famous landmark and the location of the Karnataka state legislature's seat. Completed in 1956 and designed by architect Kengal Hanumanthaiah, the edifice has come to represent the cultural and architectural legacy of the city.
"Vidhana Soudha" means "House of Legislation" in English, which reflects the building's function as the Karnataka Legislature's seat. With elaborate carvings, elaborate ornamentation, and beautiful towers, the building combines Indo-Saracenic and Dravidian architectural elements. White marble adorns the building's facade, while exquisitely built timber flooring, ceilings, and doors can be seen within.
