The Raj Bhavan - Gardens

The formal garden just in front of the portico provides a fitting backdrop to the State events held there. The central pathway is flanked by a row of Royal Palms and presents an uninterrupted vista of green, a view that can also be enjoyed from the terrace of the guest quarters where Heads of State and other dignitaries might want to take in Bangaloreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-known greenery.

About

The Raj Bhavan Karnataka Through the Ages traces the genesis of Karnataka from the days of the Kingly fiefdom, through its evolution during the British Raj and as the progressive Mysore State until the present. It highlights the achievements of leaders who influenced the state’s history from Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan, the Wodeyar Kings, Sir Mark Cubbon, the man who built the Raj Bhavan as it is known today, to its current incumbent. It offers a walk through the Raj Bhavan’s lavish 16- acre gardens, its treasure trove of historical artefacts and the interiors of the architecturally interesting building. Adding a personalised touch is a chapter devoted to the workings of the Raj Bhavan as a household.
