Raj Bhavan, Government residence in Bengaluru, India.
The Raj Bhavan stands as the official residence of the Governor of Karnataka, occupying an expansive estate in central Bengaluru with formal gardens.
Built in 1842 during British colonial rule, this residence initially served as the dwelling place for British commissioners before becoming the state governor's home.
The architecture combines elements of colonial design with Indian decorative features, representing the transition from British administration to Indian governance.
Located at the intersection of Race Course Road and Raj Bhavan Road, visitors require advance permission from the governor's office for entry.
The building maintains a collection of ceremonial artifacts and historical documents dating from the princely state of Mysore through modern Karnataka.
