Bangalore Town Hall, Neoclassical town hall in Central Bengaluru, India.
Bangalore Town Hall is a neoclassical building in central Bengaluru with two stories marked by Tuscan columns and a central entrance porch. The main auditorium inside accommodates approximately 810 people and was renovated to improve its sound quality.
Construction began in 1933 under Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV and the building opened on September 11, 1935. Its completion marked an important development in Bengaluru's urban infrastructure during the colonial period.
The building functions as a venue for exhibitions and official ceremonies where residents connect with local government institutions. It draws people from different parts of city life who gather here for community events and celebrations.
The building sits at the intersection of JC Road and NR Road in the city center and is easy to locate. Visitors should note that spaces are used for events and exhibitions, so availability may vary throughout the year.
The building was designed by Sir Mirza Ismail, the diwan of Mysore, and inaugurated by Yuvaraja Kanteerava Narasimharaja Wadiyar. Poor acoustics prompted a renovation estimated at Rs 1,000,000 in 1976, but work only began in March 1990, when the hall closed and the cost had risen to Rs 6.5 million.
