Vidhana soudha


Vidhana Soudha
        One of the most famous landmarks of Bangalore, the Vidhana Soudha houses the State Legislature and the Secretariat of Karnataka. The magnificent white building is spread over 60 acres of land and boasts of Dravidian architecture. It is also the largest Legislative building of India.        The origin of the building dates back to the times of  Sri Kengal Hanumanthaiah, the Chief Minister of Mysore from 1951 to 1956. His idea behind bringing the building into existence was to make it a symbol of legislative sovereignty of the people in the same manner as the House of Commons in London. The foundation of the building was laid by the then PM, Sri Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on 13th July, 1951. It was completed in the year 1956 and the total cost came around Rs. 1.75 crore.
