Russell Market, Historic market in Shivajinagar, Bangalore, India

Russell Market features numerous stalls arranged within an Indo-Saracenic style building, offering fresh produce, meats, spices, and flowers to local customers.

Built in 1927 during British rule, the market was named after T.B. Russell, the Municipal Commissioner, and officially opened by Ismail Sait in 1933.

The market represents a meeting point where Tamil-speaking traders from surrounding districts sell their goods, creating a multilingual trading environment.

The market operates daily with peak hours in early morning for wholesale buyers, while individual customers typically visit during evening hours.

The structure includes distinctive architectural elements such as arched panels, octagonal chhatris, and square blocks decorated with high parapets and domes.
