Bangalore Town Hall

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 bears the name of Sir K.P. Puttanna Chetty, a philanthropist who served as president of Bangalore City Municipality and shaped the city's development. His contributions to urban planning are reflected in the structure's role as a civic landmark.
