Vidhana Soudha, Legislative building in Bangalore, India
The Vidhana Soudha features marble walls and granite columns, stretching 700 feet in length and reaching a height of 150 feet at its central dome.
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru laid the foundation stone in 1951, and construction finished in 1956 under Chief Minister Kengal Hanumanthaiah's supervision.
The building incorporates Neo-Dravidian architectural elements with granite sourced from Magadi and Turuvekere regions, reflecting Karnataka's architectural traditions.
Visitors can access guided tours of the Assembly Hall and Council Chamber between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM through the main entrance's 45-step granite staircase.
The inscription 'Government Work is God's Work' appears on the building's entablature, while 5,000 laborers contributed to its construction.
