Statue of Queen Victoria, Royal statue in Queen's Park, Bangalore, India

The marble statue of Queen Victoria stands 11 feet tall on a 13-foot granite pedestal at the intersection of three roads near Cubbon Park.

The statue was unveiled on February 5, 1906, by Prince George Frederick Ernest Albert, who later became King George V of the United Kingdom.

The pedestal displays inscriptions in English, Kannada, Tamil, and Urdu, representing the multilingual character of the Bangalore region during colonial times.

The statue requires restoration work as several elements, including the scepter and other parts, show deterioration from exposure to weather conditions.

The Maharaja of Mysore, Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV, contributed funds alongside British Indian residents to establish this memorial in the Bangalore Cantonment.
